Canned 4/15/26, drunk 6/24/26. Compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Pretty straightforward/prototypical NEIPA here. Sometimes you don't need an insane story behind the hops/malt. It's ok to just be like, it's a Citra El Dorado NEIPA. Enjoy. At over two months old, unsurprising that there's no big pine or acidity from the El Dorado, if there ever was any to begin with. Good grain and honey from the malt, with typical Citra notes lingering (peach, orange, mango).
Juicy and flavorful, clean and well-presented. Pretty high attenuation here, giving the perception of a lower body, but I wouldn't call the texture thin (though it's pushing it for this abv). Ends a bit abruptly, is my biggest qualm, but that could just be the age and relative lack of oomph from the malt. Still a perfectly well-made, clean, well-presented beer.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma is grapefruit, orange, and mild herbs. Flavor shows a good amount of citrus with maybe hints of mango. Under the fruit is a very soft pine or herb undertone. Juicy texture with a soft pine finish. Prototypical for the style.
