Oh wow! Was not expecting this, but feels like a fresh, herbal summer lager. Lightly unfiltered, very light bright-yellow colour with a big white, frothy head, good retention and some spots of soapy lacing. Fresh herbal nose with some yeast coming out eventually, over mild straw malt. Hints of apples do come blend things, same for the flavours. Fresh, herbal, crisp mouthfeel, summer-like. Was expecting a bland, light lager like most, but the hops used in here come and make me happy. And this is an older can on top of this :P

Second of three Citra-hopped IPAs from Chelsea & Co. tonight. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with an off-white frothy head, good retention and lots of sticky foamy lacing. Aromas of peach and some other tropical fruits, but on the milder side. Fruity flavours, with nothing so much to be offensive. Juicy mouthfeel, with some light dryness in the finish. This might be the easier, drinkable juicy IPA of this series, with nothing too strong coming out but lots of fruitiness.

Second of three Citra-hopped IPAs from Chelsea & Co. tonight. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with an off-white frothy head, good retention and lots of sticky foamy lacing. Tropical fruits in the aromas with some oranges. The fruitiness continues in the taste with some stone fruits, and a touch of watermelon. Big particles falling to the bottom of the glass. Some dryness in the finish. A nice tropical fruit, juicy IPA that has a touch less grassiness than the Citra-Mosaic version.

First of three Citra-hopped IPAs from Chelsea & Co. tonight - this being their first one in the series. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with an off-white frothy head, good retention and lots of sticky foamy lacing. Oranges, mangoes for aromas with some leafy, green grassiness. The tropical fruit notes, oranges continue in the taste with the blending, grassy hops. Hints of yeast follows. Some decent dryness in the finish, but all-around juicy. Resinous hints, but not much piney for Mosaic. A good, juicy IPA with a touch of grassiness.

Draft: Poured a n amber color ale with a medium off-white color head with OK retention and medium lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt notes with light dry hops notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt with a semi-sweet finish with some dry hops notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable amber with good drinkability.
