Fractal Citra pours a hazy-straw yellow releasing aromas of bright tropical passion fruit, pineapple, lychee, and hint of mango (complex). The taste is resinous pineapple juice with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and a firm but rounded bitterness. This medley of characteristics makes the name “Fractal Citra” warranted indeed.

On tap at Homestead. Foggy light lemon yellow. Thin white head. Lots of fresh citrusy hop character and a little bitter zip at the end. Very nice

Draught at Albany Ale and Oyster: pours hazy yellow with white head. Huge citrus and tropical fruity notes. Clean juicy citrus. Very smooth. Nice fruity aftertaste. Excellent.

Pours a hazy, golden yellow, with mid-sized head. Aroma is a bit grassy, with some pine-hop, citrus, and tropical fruit. Flavor follows, along with an astringent, peppery aftertaste (my can is a couple months old). Not as good as what I was expecting, though again, maybe it's not as fresh?

Draught at Haymaker, 3/17/17.
Full-on NE IPA treatment with a soupy golden-copper appearance and medium-sized white head showing moderate retention.
Very tropical and juicy in the nose with requisite honey and biscuit malts behind it, balancing gently and adding light sweetness to the juicy pineapple, mango, kiwi and lime. The citrus itself even seem quite juicy and the beer is clean and doesn’t smell boozy or overly estery/doughy despite the massive turbidity. Most importantly, it’s not resinous.
In the mouth it’s juicy but also has a brace of good bitterness adding light lime and red grapefruit to the strong mango-kiwi-like tropical juice. Orange and lemon on the end with sweet honey notes and soft malts for texture. Tight carbonation and nicely balanced overall. A very well-done NE IPA, indeed. No alcohol, flaw, resin, yeastiness, etc...
