Citra IPA from Guinness Open Gate Brewery

4 months ago

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 6

Draft @ Temple Bar Pub, Dublin. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of malts and lemons. Tate of citrus fruits, biscuits and malts. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Ok but location and price unfairly tarnished my experience.
