Tall can @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. 10% jai alai.. what a treat. Lovely old school business, solid amber malt base, sharp hoppy bite, pokey in a nice way, and dare I say it sessionable in feel.

750ml Bottle. At the February DCBeer share. Poured a pitch black motor oil color, brown head. Aroma was a little bit of alcohol, with a blastoff maple, and milk chocolate, vanilla. Super smooth, you get a little bit of alcohol but it is smooth as silk. Delicious and flavorful with a little bit of melted milk chocolate and a blast of maple. Very nice.

First trip after august, thanks my covid friend. A classical and decent citra pale ale with a first fruity note of strawberry and after, it is becoming more bitter and citrus, floral and not so sour for a citra style pale ale, dry malt, 14.01.21, in my room hotel, Paris.
