Single hop Citra 5% 24 IBU Opaque brass with a thick white head and a great Citra hop bouquet. The body is a touch light but the flavor is Citra fruitiness plus some crackery malt in the finish. Ap 4 Ar 8 t 7 o 12-3

hazy golden white color - oddly all the beers here look very similar. Big hoppy citra nose with sweet maltiness in the background. Like too many session IPAs it is a bit harsh and has almost a burnt character. The problem with this beer is I feel the hops are a bit old. I know the beer only came out a couple days earlier, and the nose has nice fruitiness but this really lacks bitterness to balance things out. Unfortunately just average, but lots of potential.
