This batch is a special triple Citra version made with regular Citra hops, lupulin enriched Citra hops, and Citra lupulin powder. It's supercharged!
Hugely aromatic, with notes of ripe mango, fresh peach, melon, low bitterness, and a pillowy soft body, this beer translates a great magnitude of hops into an impressively balanced, hazy orb of wonder.

(473ml can from Herbalist, thanks!) Pours lightly hazy deep gold with a small white head and lace. Aroma of citrus peels, soft peachy sweetness, fresh leafy/grassy lupulin vibes, light bready malt, a bit of dank weed, definitely the greener less mango flesh side of Citra. Flavour to match, light to moderate sweet but quite dry for style and more white bread/cereal malts, orange/grapefruit axis with soft peach sweetness, grassy leafy hops with subtle dankness and light peppery, lupulin showing into a quite dry finish, moderately bitter, more peppery grass and citrus but not much burn, no alcohol. Medium body, soft slightly creamy carbonation. Feels more like a double IPA, nicely balanced, smooth, not boozy though the head feels it, good dryness. Nicer than most Bellwoods hops lately!
