On tap at Renegade Pub, East Boston. Murky burnt orange with a cap of white head. Nose is malt and toast and orange rind and soap. Flavor drops off just a bit, malt and caramel, there is some tomato or persimmon, then heavy pine and soap. Dry and bitter finish. Decent enough. 7 4 6 3 12

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. It's an opaque light brown with no sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is mix of mild fruit and strong sweet malts, caramel. Taste is strong sweet malts, caramel, and mild fruit. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, hard to know if this is old (no born date) so Citra has just really decayed or just overly malty from the start. As is, this is nothing special old school.

Can from Julio's Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a decent sized bubbly white head. Sweet bready malt and candied citrus fruit aroma and flavor. Canned in Feb so not exactly fresh but a tasty old school IPA.

Draft at the Brew Pub. Amber color with thin head. Nose is caramel, English malt and yeast. Flavor is close to a standard ESB. Earthy malt, notes of toffee and a light sweet finish. Body is thin with the proper amount of Co2. Average overall.

Sample at the Brew Pub. Pitch black with no head. Nose is light roasted malt. Taste is normal for the style. Hints of chocolate, notes of coffee, bitter chocolate finish. Thin body that the style represents. Close to any other Dry stout.
