12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but was released recently. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of big orange zest, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon zest, tangerine, floral, grass, slight pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Very nice aromas with good complexity of hop notes with a moderate malt balance; and good strength. Taste of grapefruit, orange zest, lemon zest, pineapple, tangerine, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness. Fair amount of earthy pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, pineapple, floral, grass, light pine, light caramel, bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of hop flavors; with a moderate malt balance and minimal astringent bitterness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy, crisp, and sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around good complexity of hop flavor with a moderate malt balance; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark golden color with a large creamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish pine and catbox. The flavor was tangy and sweet bread, pine, resin and catbox. Long finish of pine, resin and catbox. Medium body. Ok.

Slightly hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is sweet citrus, sugary, fruit. Flavor is Sweet fruity, citrus, moderate herbal notes, some tropical fruits. Not overly bitter. Decent but by the time I had it I felt like it had already fallen off quite a bit.

Sample from firkin at the Big Tap In on 04/21/2012. Pours a clear pale orange color with a wispy white head that evaporates steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium body with a citrusy character and notes of moderately bitter hops and caramel malt. The finish is fruity with a lingering citrus hops aftertaste. Pretty good Citra showcase beer all around.
