Notes:

Descriptors: citrus, orange, tangerine, red/orange popsicle mix

As all beers with this yeast it was cloudy. Decent head, tightly packed bubbles that stick around for a while but diminishes to a very thin layer after it sits in the glass for a bit. Aroma is huge on this one, really juicy! Lots of citrus (orange/tangerine). Very flavorful, almost a cross between an orange and red Popsicle. Mouthfeel is soft and somewhat creamy, which is great for such a low ABV beer. Little bit of a mineral aftertaste. I want to say I can taste the golden naked oats, but if it’s there it’s hidden behind the hops. They tasted like grape nuts prior to being mashed and I’m not really getting any of that in this beer. Overall this beer is super tasty. This one didn’t last long, excellent beer. Amarillo in the dry hop is something I usually don’t care for, it can come across to floral for me, but a little buried in with Citra seems to work great!
