Stingy hoppy, grapefruity and piney with some herbal hops, grass and even mild green hop burn notes.

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque medium yellow with a small white head and no lace. Aroma couples clearly dank, weed-inflected hops with bright yellow citrus peels and a little pulp, leafy and a touch green with a little bready softly sweet malt backbone. Flavour of mixed pale citrus like lemon, white grapefruit and tangerine, some soft floral fruit like melon, more zesty than juicy though there's some grapefruit pulp, quite ample dankness and leafy piney greenness, vaguely peppery vibes in the middle to the end of the sip, lingering grapefruit-side fruitiness in the drying finish with low to moderate bitterness and a little resinous tingle but no insane burn (especially compared to the IPAs from early April). Medium bodied, oily, softly carbonated, no real booze. Nice stuff, not the juice/dank combo I expected from these hops but seems to be a character of 2020 Citra so far. Tasty stuff.
