My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.32
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.2

Intro: A 500ml bottle, 2017 release. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A cloudy golden orange colour with a two finger white head that had pretty good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Funky, barnyard, tart, peach, grape, oak and lemon juice.
Taste: Sour, tart, lemon, grape and oak with light funk.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to high prickly carbonation.
Overall: Nice and refreshing but strangely not much funk in the taste considering how much I got from the aroma. But nonetheless, still very good.

Taste: Sour, passionfruit, lemon juice and oak with only hints of funk.

Overall: Nice aroma and flavours especially from the passionfruit, but I’m not getting much funk at all considering its supposed to be a Fruit Lambic.

Beachwood Citraholic

Leave a comment

Brewery: Beachwood BBQ & Brewing
Country: USA
ABV: 7.1%
Style: American IPA
Other Notes: 70 IBUs. West Coast IPA

Brewer Description: (from website) Hopheads rejoice! Citraholic is a “modern” West Coast-Style IPA that’s focused on Citra, one of our favorite new American hop varieties. Brewed with an abundance of Citra hops, we also blend in Warrior, Columbus, and Simcoe in the kettle for good measure. Citraholic is double dry hopped for two weeks with an abundance of Citra (and a touch of Columbus) imparting heavy aromas of citrus & tropical fruits with melon and gooseberry nuances. A base of American 2-row malt and scatterings of light British caramel malt create the perfect foundation for this unique and powerfully pungent IPA. You asked for it and we were happy to deliver!
