Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a light copper with a huge soapy white head that lasts throughout. Big citra hop aromas: ruby red grapefruit, orange zest and iyokan with some green pineapple and papaya. Crackery malt character with a nice refreshing crisp zing on the palate. Bitter but with nice fruit character to balance out. Body seemed a tad thin at the end however. Still really enjoyable.

(Bottle, Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 30 Aug 2015) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with citrus, grapefruit, orange peel and some crisp-bread. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of crisp-bread, citrus, grapefruit, orange peel and a dry finish with a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Fresh and tasty, with a good hop character. Nice one.

Bottle, as Pale Ale Citra. Amber with a small off white head. Aroma of herbal lemon, mandarins, flowers, caramel, pine. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Not as sweet as suggested by the aroma with my impression of caramel just wrong. Some crackers, lots of citrus, floral and some herbal and pine notes. Brief flash of bitterness. A good hoppy quaffer.
