(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque orange-gold with a thick eggshell head and lace. Aroma of tangerine, sweet melon, papaya, Five Alive, subtle dank edge. Flavour is off-dry with a sweet creaminess I think is from the Spectrum, lacking the vegetal components of traditional DH beers; notes of grapefruit, lime, tangerine and papaya, citrus is peel/oil mostly with a little tangerine pulp, sweet tropicals are quite light here, malt is smooth and slightly bready. Finishes without any drydown or bitterness, just an extension of the hop profile from earlier in the sip with an increasing intensity of citrus oils and light dankness into the aftertaste. Light to medium bodied, oily, softly carbonated. Solid IPA with very pleasant hop quality, though the liquid hop product definitely changes the profile of a Citra bomb compared to traditional DH it is not a wholly bad thing.
