3.6 Lime and gooseberries with grapefruit bitterness. Slightly herbal with a bit of coriander. Would go well with Thai food I reckon. Light and refreshing. Another decent beer from Thornbridge.

3.5 Bouteille 33cl couleur blonde dorée mousse blanche, odeur sur les fruits exotiques, goût sur le pamplemousse, les agrumes, assez douce, sèche en fin de bouche

5.0 Bottle from a mixed case. Not usually a fan of beers that are predominantly Citra based - but this is bright, bubbly with a nice bite, but not overly hoppy or bitter. Great stuff.

2.8 Pale ale, little citra but weak taste. Bit bland (Morrisons)

3.9 Crisp and dry with citrus flavours like grapefruit. Golden colour with not much head. Very drinkable and pleasant, not much aftertaste.

3.2 Bière blonde translucide a faible mousse.odeur de fruits exotiques et de pamplemousse. Légère amertume en dégustation mais bonne Saveur de pamplemousse. Bière légère. Bonne bière a déguster pour se désaltérer avec de la saveur

3.3 Poord clear yellow, white foam head. Nice hoppy aroma, fruity/citrus in taste, nice. (Den Bosch 201912)

3.9 Étonnante cette APA ! Robe dorée légère et finement trouble, nez fruitée, pamplemousse, fruit de la passion, orange, abricot, et pin fleuri, aux senteurs très suaves et engageantes Attaque très douce avec une légère rondeur en bouche des plus agréables partageant ses arômes entre résineux et hop pamplemousse Sans surprise, on retrouve tous les copains cités plus haut : fruit de la passion, fruits exotiques, orange, abricot, citra, citron vert, pins, miel avec des saveurs mentholées Amertume légère en fin de bouche mais qui se finit par une jolie rondeur Une très belle composition fleurie et résinée que nous livre Thornbridge, une parfaite bière de soif d'un équilibre quasi-parfait qui fait penser aux IPA américains, félicitations !

3.7 Jaune très pale, fine mousse blanche alimentée par de belles fontaines de bulles. Nez citra : citron, citron vert, limonade, notes florales. Bouche exactement sur les mêmes saveurs avec un petit rien de fruits exotiques, malt discret. Longueur moyenne, bonne carbo, corps léger. Une belle petite bière rafraichissante et bien agréable à boire. Idéale pour découvrir le citra...

3.5 Fresh aroma, citrus, lemongrass. Nice zesty citrus taste. There is a notion of flour in the aftertaste of some of the Thornbridge beers. Perhaps boiling time is a bit short?

3.2 Shared bottle at Thornbridge tasting at Cardinal 23.09.19. Very pale clear straw colour. Some white head and lacing. Aroma and taste of lime and lemon zest and juice, lemonade, sorrel and white flour.Citrus bitterness is lingering on. Gets better as the beer warms up and the carbonation gets lower.

3.5 2/9/2019. Bottle at the Newcastle Tap. Poured clear golden with a good sized white head. Aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, hops, grapefruit, malt and flowers. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Pretty decent.

3.2 White foamy head. Pale golden colour. Aroma is hoppy, citrus with light herbal and fruity ( pineapple and papaya) notes. Flavor is hoppy too with fruity (citrus, pineapple and light grapefruit) tones, ending in a moderately hoppy finish. Light bodied.

3.8 This bottle is coming from Wittish, at Olten, drinking and enjoying it, three days ago, for the birthday of my brother-in-law, at Epalinges. The body is yellow and gold, transparent, regular carbonation, thin and white foam. The taste has notes of dry malt, predominance of the citra hop, giving a special touch with a side of litchi, a bit soily and sour, really aromatic, it is not my favourite hop but this beer is well made and subtle.

3.4 Alfresco 330ml bottle from the bottle by a Martian red Pembroke moon. Fine juicy stewed Citra with Dead Pony-like dried curry leaf, crystallised lemon, chlorophyll and grapefruit. Nose nettles, slight spliff and sulphur, lemon zest and spearmint. Basic but fresh and good.

3.3 Bottle. Pours a dark gold colour with a small fluffy white head, plenty of fruit especially orange in the aroma, the taste is medium bitterness and fruity with a dry bitter finish.

3.6 Bottle from Morrisons. Clear gold in colour, with a frothy, white, head. Pineapple and tangerine fruits, citrus hops, light, rich tea malts, a touch of white pepper and dry finish. An enjoyable bottled beer.

3.6 Bottle, pours clear pale gold with a white head. Aroma is tangy citrus, mango and pineapple, light malts and a dusting of spice. Light bodied, oily texture finishing dry and crisp with light bitterness. Soft carbonation.

3.5 Bottle drank at home. Clear yellow appearance. Aroma is grassy and citrus. Flavour is bitter, lemon, citrus, grassy and hops

3.4 330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Langnes. bright late straw coloured body, steady white head, spotty lacing. Blossom citrus nose. Fine blended taste of pale malts and leafy hops. Ends dry with ripe citrus. Medium bodied. Refreshing, summer feel. (Tromsø 02.06.2019).
