The Citra hop has been used extensively by nearly any brewery worth their salt. It's a hop where the flavors suggested by its name actually show up in the beer. People like citrusy shit so why not use the hell out of a citrusy hop, right?
This is Cup of Coffee in the Big Time, folks. Big, bountiful aromas of sweet fruity hops, followed by bountiful sweet, fruity hop flavors laid over a really clean, crisp malt base. This is a single-hop beer that really works, but more than that I could find myself buying this regularly if the NSP comes up a bit. Until then, Flying Dog has the best valued Citra-hopped beast.
Noble's done quite well around this blog, and this is further proof that -- as the Macho Man might say -- the CREAM RISES TO THE TOP!
