Odd, leaning too far into the herbaceous side of Citras and coming off tasting like a citronella IPA. Grapefruit and lemon zest are prominent, but the back end has an oily vegetal pungency underlined by slightly sweet, slightly buttery malts. Mineral bitterness adds to the citronella oil vibe. Clunky, and the texture seems a tad harsh for a six-percent beer. Makes me crave Sweetwater IPA for some reason.

2 month old can A: Hazy but not murky Deep yellow color topped by 1/2 of tight yellowish head. Good retention and walls of lace left. S: Heavy on lemon and citrus zest with light caramel and pine. T: Bitter pith and zest to start, whether more lemon or grapefruit. Quickly joined by some astringent pineapple and biscuit before ending with more pith. M: Smooth texture with light soft carbonation and a rough puckering finish. O: Very good bitter IPA without being too fruit juicy although it comes close.
