A variation on Letters From Zelda, this IPA is hopped completely with Citra. Sunbeam hits everything we love about this hop variety; huge orange and peach flavors, an assertive but refined bitterness, beautifully supported by the bright malt foundation of her sister beer. Finishes slightly dry and refreshing.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to almost yellow haziness with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some clingy lace
Aroma: grapefruity and orangey bittersweet pulpy hop vibes with a clean malt base
Flavor: bittersweet juiciness through the prior noted aromas; juicy orange & some hop spice in the finish
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth on the tongue, nice low carb, very low bitterness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA well worthy of returning to.

Canned 12/6/21, drunk 12/20/21. Heavily hazy, bright golden-bronze with a medium sized white head. Really nice mineral, dainty, well attenuated honey and cracker like maltiness with soft succulent citrus juiciness. Maybe a touch of doughy yeast but no booze, twang or flaw. Dry, quite malty, with lots of cracker. Tangerine and lemon with a touch of dough on the end. Juicy hops add a healthy dose of bitterness, as well. Tight carbonation with a bit of pine and lemon lingering. Rather rough around the edges as B & F is apt to be but the soul is intact.
