Hazy IPA w/ Citra & Idaho 7

We convinced ourselves that Idaho 7 could potentially play nicely with Citra if used at the right amount, and added at the right time. Well, let me tell you, we were right! The Idaho 7 adds a rich layer of hoppiness that stays underneath all the Citra, and doesn't overwhelm all the mango and orange soda vibes we are looking for.

Tap at Green Cheek, Anaheim: 18th February 25. Pours a light hazy yellow. Aroma is fruity, and taste is dry, hoppy, medium bitter sweet. Lovely and a great venue too

Tap at IBU in Milpitas. Pours hazy light yellow with moderate head and solid patterning. Tropical and citrus aromas. Citrusy flavor dominates with malt support.
