BILLY PILGRIM | CITRA POP DIPA | ABV 8.8%

A locked and loaded double India Pale ale, hop-popped and cocked with a tropical composite of CITRA and CRYO POP.

Nebulous and fuzzy due to a spaffy overdose of oats and wheat with a dry biscuity Maris Otter finial.

CRYO POP and CITRA HOP marry, blunge and interflow, transmitting a fatal fallout of powerful pineapple, daiquiri lime, whipped mango and ripe peach cobbler.

So it goes.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 1 month past BBE. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with small white head. Aroma - orange, funky pineapple, leafy. Taste - bitter orange pith, light marmalade, caramel, pine, leafy. Medium+ bodied, fine carbonation. Nothing unexpected but a very good tasty DIPA nonetheless.
