MadTree Brewing Company Citra High
What the brewers say
“Explore new worlds of flavor as two American hops collide to create waves of tropically dank flavors.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Overripe pineapple, light plum, banana, suggestions of pine, moderate earthy, hint of floral. Good complexity is added with some nice malt biscuit-like sweetness.”
Flavor: “Great blend of the hops and malt sweetness in this beer. Some biscuit notes. Nice orange, mango, pineapple, and melon-like fruit sweetness. The bitterness kicks in to balance the sweetness and is a nice addition without making this too bitter. The beer is crisp and bright through the finish. Alcoholic warmth adds to the overall character without overwhelming the palate.”
Overall: “Great double IPA with some nice bright fruit characters that are showcased well. Dangerously drinkable, this high octane IPA leaves a pleasant warmth in the aftertaste that makes one want another sip. The barleywine of IPAs.”
