(On tap @ the brewpub, Toronto, Mar 7/20) Pours pretty hazy dark gold with a white head. Notes of Citra-like sweet mango and peach, zesty grapefruit, some orange, a bit of bready malt peeking through, pretty fresh and fruity though. Flavour is tropical and pit fruit sweetness matched with some zesty citrus, and again a pale malt core of bread, finishing fairly dry with light to moderate bitterness. Medium-bodied, above average carbonation. A solid Citra NEIPA, nothing spectacular but quite tasty and drinkable.

(On tap @ the brewpub, Toronto, Mar 7/20) Pours quite hazy orange-gold with a small white head. Notes of grapefruit, citrus pith, slightly sweet stone fruit flesh, semi sweet pale malt with a bit of grain, a bit of dank leafy weed quality but mostly on the citrus side, finishing dry and a bit powdery with moderate bitterness. Medium bodied, average carbonation. A bit anonymous but a pretty solid NEIPA, I think it was Enigma hopped if I remember correctly and a good rendering of a hop that's not always my fave.
