Draft. Clear gold. This is Citra? Would have never guessed. Grassy light citrus with moderate bitterness. Completely dull and uninteresting.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a fairly hazy burnt golden orange color leaving a messy to somewhat glossy lacing after the head dissipated.
The smell had a nice sweet to bitter blend of grapefruit, orange, and lemon rind.
The taste had a full bittersweet citrus hops to leave a really nice sweet citrus aftertaste and there’s a slight sticky sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed good for the style and for me. Sticky sweet grapefruit notes roll over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good APA, it sat a bit heavier so it’s not necessarily a food beer just a good one.

On tapp at thier brewpub, quite a unique place. Fairly straight forward APA. Less fruity tan the ESB. Some sharpness to it. Not bad overall but could use a few manners. A little hop linger on the finish.
