Upslope Citra Pale Ale

Upslope Citra Pale Ale. Upslope Brewing, Boulder, CO. 5.8 % AV, 37 IBU.

These guys like the 3-word approach. "Floral. Juicy. Brilliant" reads the can.

Clear, bright golden hue, considerable layer of lace-leaving, ivory head above.

In the nose: bold hop presence, bursting with citrus, orange, grapefruit.

In the mouth: Light on the palate, light-bodied, but a plentitude of hops on the attack. Juicy/fruity flavors lay in for the long haul. Light malt presence. Fresh and refreshing, Citra hops at play. Tasty stuff.

An astonishingly likable pale ale. "Crushable", as they say these days, but I don't.

Prominently featuring Citra hops, our Citra Pale Ale delivers pungent grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas on the nose with a semi-dry finish. Juicy notes imparted by the hops pair with the light caramel malt character to balance this drinkable, “go-to” American Pale Ale.
