Can. A mild haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, never thin, a modest creamy sweetness. Citra and, all it's modern hop lab derivative nonsense, delivers light skunk and a slightly thin but reasonably bright mandarinish led citrus. Touches of orange and tangerine. Whispers of yellow grapefruit and mango, on the edge of perception really. Light crisp finish brings a mild hop spice. Would have been a top class dipa 15 years ago but, the hop world has moved on a bit and, whilst Citra remains a reliable warhorse, does it really warrant a solo hop dipa these days? It's a good brew and a trip down memory lane but, there are many more new hops out there in need, and deserving of, good brewing exposure.

From keg at SalamaNation. Enjoyed on 24.2.2026.
Poured hazy and orange in color.
Light dank notes in aroma. Tropical sweet fruits. Ok bitterness, citrusy hops.

Smooth, sweetish and slightly stuffy fruity with some herbal notes, hints of grass, grapefruit and stonefruits, mild earthy bitterness. Decent but a bit stuffy

Stingy, sweet and roasty with some coffee, licorice, molasses, syrup and earthiness. A bit unbalanced and heavy.
