Everyone told Kung Fu Kitten that kittens couldn't do kung fu. They said that the karate chop was only for cats, and not kittens. They said he was too young. Too cute. Too cuddly. They said get your heads out of the clouds - you've got to lay off the cat-nip. Well, they were wrong. Oh, boy were they wrong. When Lil Citra stepped onto the Epic Battlefield he wasn't just battling Unicorns, The Ninjas, The Lizard King...he was battling his past.

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours a clear copper orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of dank citrus with some earthy grains and as hint of grass. Flavor has a good amount of dank citrus as well with some grass and a bit of bread.

Pipeworks’ take on the 21st-century ISA style, can shared at tderoeck’s place. Moussy, egg-white, stable head over a lightly hazy orange blonde beer with warmer peachy hue. Very pleasant, fragrant bouquet of pink grapefruit, orange orchard, biscuit, moist marihuana, dried mango, pink pepper, green banana. Fruity onset, clean with hints of yellow kiwi, mango and guava, smooth mouthfeel with medium carbo, lightly oily, cereal sweetish backbone with biscuity accent, supporting a delicate and aromatic hoppiness, grapefruity, spicy and somewhat tropical, drying and a tad resinous, perfectly in balance with the malt basis. Exemplary session IPA in all respects.

Can from Eataly, so it was obviously overpriced. Drinking a Chicago beer in honor of the first World Series game at Wrigley in 71 years! I have no horse in this race, but best of luck to my Cubs diehard friends. Bright, citrus hop aroma. Both the rind and the meat of the fruit are present. Bit of bready malt. Unclear medium-dark orange color with a frothy off-white head and lots of spotty lacework. Hoppy and medium-plus bitter. Fruity. Malts fade-away in the flavor, and it thins out on the later part of the palate. Extremely drinkable. Light bodied. Very clean. Does it's job. Goes down so quick, you could drink a lot of these.

Can. Slightly cloudy dark orange with small off-white foamy head, floral hops aroma, low carbonation, lightly bitter citrus peel taste, smooth body, medium bitter citrus peel finish. Very smooth and refreshing, a good brew.

Can into a solo cup showing moderately filtered honey orange and no head. The nose shows a lot of clean juicy tangerine and blood orange with no citric edge. The palate is fully carbonated and light bodied. Light flavors of blood orange and citrus with a light bitterness. Bready malts on the resurgence. Not bad but a little thin on flavor.
