Double Mountain Brewery and Taproom Citra Single Hop IPA American IPA at 6.3% ABV | 60 IBU (C$7.39 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 500 ml, packaged on 11-Jul-2017, acquired 25-Aug-2017, reviewed 25-Aug-2017)
Appearance: clear straw with three fingers of fluffy white head, excellent retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: bright lemon, tropical fruit, pale crackery malt. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, dry medium duration bitter finish. (4/5)
Citra is one of my favourite hops, especially for a single-hop implementation, and this does that very well indeed. Lots of citrus and tropical fruit notes lead the way over a clean pale malt, with no hint of onion or cattiness. Damn fine. (16/20)
