This IPA is for serious beer lovers. As the name suggests this Ale is bursting with citrus flavours and aroma. The tropical notes of mango, lime, pineapple and orange bring home all the memories of a lush summer holiday.

1/3 pint, cask at GBBF 2013. Bubbling, off-white patches at the surface. The body colour is amber-orange. Dusty hops to the nose, hints of apricot. Peach, apricot and mango flavours join by a twist of berries. Rounded bittersweet finish. Pleasant version of the style (London Olympia 13.08.2013).

Cask @ gbbf, small sample. Clear Orange to amber color, short head. Aroma of some fruity hop with lots of caramel malt. Soft bitter, bit sweet. Slight sticky palate. To make the Citra shine, they should put in more and get rid of the copious amount of caramel and toffee.
