This IPA has been brewed using a healthy dose of imported Pilsner malt and malted oats to create a smooth mouthfeel. Finished off by dry hopping with a blend of Citra lupulin powder and pellets for a tropical aroma and finish.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: big mixed citrusy hops up front with a light mango to papaya hop bitterness in the secondary with a clean biscuity malty underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet juiciness to a bittersweet tone; finishes dry with a sweet to bittersweet citrusy to mango quality
Texture: light to medium bodied - leaning towards medium just a bit; sessionable; some smoothness with the dryness rolling over the tongue
Overall: nice NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Canned (from Alko). Hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, citrus and some slight nectary tones. Flavour pretty much has the same elements as the aroma, but also has a slight sweetness to it. Refreshing!

How stupid ass can you get, having the customer try to figure out what studid ass fricken hops are in this. There has got to be 15 different orbital tilts in the data base and they are all made by Lawrence, WTF! I'll guess citra by golly. Smells a little piney. Taste is big bad bitter. Its just another stupid ass straight up IPA like all the other gazillion out there. Taste one CL orbital tilt, you had em all, there, you have it. Very disappointing. Beer tasting, its really getting boring lately. IPA, the new mass produced style. Gimmy a good old lager p-lease to rinse my mouth out. Slight warming sensations on the finish.

35,5cl can from Alko, Helsinki. Pours hazy, muddy golden with a white head. Ripe tropical fruits and notes of citrus. Moderate sweet with fruity flavours and a mild bitterness. Pleasant and enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Orbital Tilt - Citra on 16 Jul 2020 at 20:38 - Score: 6

(Can, 0.355 l - canned on 11.10.2019, from Alko, 20200221)The beer poured yellow and cloudy. Its head was large, white and it lasted long. Aroma had tangerine, grapefruit and menthol. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were grapefruit, grass, tangerine, resin and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A surprisingly pleasant hoppy brew with dry bitter finish.

Can 355ml (Alko web, BB 10/2020)
Murky orange colour, nice firm white head and lace. Aroma is at first very peachy, then watermelon and citrus with cut grass. Medium-bodied, a bit too much carbonation. Quite bitter and lemony almost to sticky level. Then pine and resin ride in. Ok hoppy brew but for being Citra it is quite sharp bitter, maybe yeast has done some tricks here.
