Panda thanks to Cloin. A modest haze on this slightly dark orange beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light and slightly soft creamy sweet pale malts. Fuck me! Citra! It's never suffered the mass cultivation terroir woes that, for me, have made other hops pale shadows of what they once were. But, this tastes like 2008 Citra, big juicy citrus, slightly ripe, some peel, ripe tangerine and mandarin. Soft pine, soft pink grapefruit. Modest pink grapefruit. Hop spice nibbles away on the light finish. Bloody marvellous!
