Dåse. Diset gylden, meget luftig hvid skum, svinder til ujævn 3-4 mm. Duft er parfumeret, humle, frugter. Smagen er god men lidt tynd/flad, mellem bitter lidt citrus, mangler lidt fylde og kompleksitet.
Draught at Brewer's Tap and Table, 6/27/18.
Clear brass-lemon. White head fades steadily to a ring.
Smells of lemony hop, lightly catty with perfume and floral notes, as well. Malts are sparse and show cracker and light biscuit.
Dull biscuit, lemon balm and light tangerine. Good maltiness with a soft and dry character. Less twangy and bitter than many of pipeworks hoppy beers. Light touches of husky malt and a hint of sourdough but pretty good lemony-hop without any off notes. Light bodied but not thin. Carbonation is low and engaging.
47 cl can @ home. Pours hazy yellow with a white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma and flavour are tropical fruit, peach, and malt - with a slightly bitter finish.
16oz can consumed out of a snifter glass. Straw golden with an element of haze. Minor white head that quickly dissipates. Nose is bright citrus with some pineapple tropical notes. An inviting aroma. Taste is full flavored for the style with a healthy dose of citrus hop bitterness. Some hard candy sweetness. Very easy to drink with a pleasant finish. One of the better sessionable options. Consider me more than a lil impressed.
Musty IPA. Much more aggressively bitter than I’d expected. A malt forward session, which seems rare. Tried courtesy of Dave in 2018.
moderate citrus aromas. gold and faintly hazy in color with great long lasting head. taste is of citrus, faint tropical notes and pine

Draft from First Draft 10-1-16
Thin quick fading head. Taste is wheat malt grain and hop. Nose is wheat grain then hop. Not very intense but nice body for abv. Light sweet light citrus. Nice refreshing brew overall.
Pours golden orange. Aroma of citrus and juicy orange.
Taste is balanced, fruity and citrusy. One hell of a session ipa.
Soft carbonation, medium body, Watery to oily texture
Pours a clear golden orange from the can with fluffy white head that leaves moderate lace. Aroma of mild oxidation, but lots of citra glory, fruity and grassy, with a decent caramel malt backbone. Taste follows, feels way bigger in flavor than the 4.9% would make you think, but no booze obviously. Stale bread oxidation, but was once beautiful, you can tell.
Pours beautiful orange, not too carbonated. Nose is refreshing and beautiful hopped. Malts there in the taste, not too sweet but still has some body. Good.
June 2017 - Can shared at Leighton’s Thanks Fergus! As ’Pipeworks Lil Citra’. Golden yellow, off-white head, full lacing. Aroma is orange, syrupy, resin. Body is frothy with soft carbonation. Taste is grapefruit, soft sugary malts, woody. Nice. (7-4-7-4-15=3.7)

On tap at Ellyn’s Tap & Grill in Glen Ellyn, IL., and dispensed to a shaker showing a clear, light amber hue, with a presentable & fairly lasting, off white layer of froth, and sheet-like lacing. The nose was soft floral & lightly soapy hints, mild resin, citrus as orange & lemon, some pit & tropical fruit, and light sweetness. Light to medium bodied, with lively carbonation, the taste successfully mimicked these notes in a bright and expressive fashion, adding a citrusy & rind-like bitterness that lingered. Very tasty for a session offering.
Hatalmas, tartós hab, félbarna szín. Citrusos, déligyümölcsös, gyantás illat. Déligyümölcsös, grapefruitos, mandarinos ízvilág, markáns fenyős aromával. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, erősen keserű. Jó egyensúllyal és arányokkal rendelkező sör.

473ml can (Beerfox, Riga)
Pale orange pour, initially clear, final pour is cloudy. Pretty bland aroma. some malts, some citrussy hops. Pretty bland taste too, Mostly fruity citrussy hops, some pale and caramelly malts. Finish has tingly bitterness, a bit drying, a bit papery. Simple hop-oriented pale ale, a bit boring. Spicy, but a bit messy.
