Citra Pale Ale

Brewer: Yours truly
ABV: 5.9%
IBU: 54
Serving Type: 12 oz. bottle poured into Czech pils glass

Pours deep, hazy gold with orange highlights and a finger of dense, offwhite head. The head is persistent, and laces the glass well. Nice hop aroma, mostly citrus/grapefruit and some pine notes aswell. Some small amount of maltiness lurking in the background.

Hop flavor is very citrus, piney, and grassy. Hits the toungue a little sharp, but mellows quick as the moderately high carbonation spreads through the mouth. Very bright, effervescent. Nice and light, finishes dry. Thisrt quencher.

All in all, this turned out quite well. Troubles on brew day were minor, but nonetheless had less an impact on the final product than I expected.

My score: 4/5
