We’ve only gone and dropped the C-Bomb! This Citra bombed session IPA is made from a simple pale ale malt base and loads and loads of Citra hops added in the last 20 minutes of the boil. It’s then cooled and “hop bombed” with even more whole leaf Citra to make a relatively low bitterness beer with lots of tropical fruit flavour and aroma.

17/V/18 - 33cl can from a trade @ home - BB: VII/2018 (2018-712) Thanks to Lee B. for the trade!

Note: darn, another first I missed, due to the backlog... could've been first. :p
Clear bright orange beer, huge creamy yellowish head, falls down quickly, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty malty, grains, some citrus notes, bit grassy, herbal. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: citrus notes up front, soft bitterness, rather watery impression, little acidic, more bitter coming up, malty touch, little fruity. Aftertaste: very dry and bitter, malts shining through the hop bitterness, some caramel, more citrus on warming up a bit. Not bad, but not the hoppy flavour bomb you would expect with a name like this...
