This beer is all about the hops! Citrus, mango and pineapple aromas abound, but make no mistake, there is no fruit here, just a serious dry-hop regimen of Citra and Amarillo hops. We put in just enough malt backing to balance out the flavor, but Citra Double IPA is as close as it gets to chewing on a hop vine. Enjoy this one fresh!

Hollingshead draught, 12/9/22. Clear brass-golden, small, but moderately-well retained, white head. Nose is sweaty, juicy, citrusy hops. Peach, tangerine, cracker, earth. Can see where the high ratings come from. It's clean and yet funky with so much sweat and moderate citrus. No pine, resin, but also no juice, sugar or ester. Just lots of Citra, mineral and pale malt. Soft, moderately citrusy, mild, clean, balanced, earthy, mineral-forward/sweaty and soft in texture with great attenuation and good malt depth. The fact that this beer beats out 99% of current IPAs is really something. It's not flashy, intensely flavorful or anything like that, but still just provides perfect balance.

Can, thanks to Bytemesis. Pours hazy dark yellow with foamy light beige head, citrus peel-pineapple aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus zest-pineapple taste, a bit of alcohol burn at the end, thin body, long bitter finish. Enjoyable but bitter.
