I’m a big fan of Citra so when I spotted this at Kyoto Isetan for 6 bucks I pounced. It’s also been awhile since I’ve had a Knee Deep beer! Knee Deep Citra Lights Single Hop Pale Ale 5.5% 30 IBU Matte gold with a dense off-white foam and big fruity Citra bouquet. Quite full bodied with a stinky bitter Dank fruity hop profile. A bit more bitter than I’m used to these days, classic APA type bitterness. Good stuff.

Nice little pale ale. Lots of citra on the nose, and a decent malt body. Light bitter finish. Golden pour with decent head. Pleasant and easy drinking pale. Can.

Another can of ubiquitous IPA? From cally none the less. Smells like, tastes like. Yes, stronger than most APA, definitely in the IPA strata. I think I even get a slight detectable warming sensation. Surprising. Taste is much stronger alky than 6%. Yes, one big kick ass beer. However, I do sense a little welcomed cutting co2 in the finish. Smooths it out, just a little, heheheh. Definately more than a go 2 brew.

12oz can pours with a clear deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up a bit of biscuit malts, orange candy, soft grapefruit and some mango. The taste delivers some thin biscuit malts, spicy yeasty notes, bitter grapefruit and juicy to bitter berry and mango and floral hoppiness. Nice crushable Pale.

On tap in Australia! Golden pour. Pine nose. Malty in mouth with subdued but present hops. Some fruitiness but very balanced. Pleasant but not amazing.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours coppery gold with a large foamy white head. Lots of citrus wafts from the pour. Near med body. Flavor is mostly citrus, well the hop is all citrus, but there's a bit of roasty malt support. Dry. Hoppy. Bitter. Very tasty APA.
