Widmer Brothers Citra Blonde Summer Brew

Widmer Brothers Brewing Company - Citra Blonde Summer Brew - Portland, Ore.

Label description: None provided

This has a very citrus-like aroma. My first thought is pale ale, because of the initial hops bite. But the hops actually aren't overpowering at all. Has a very, very subtle citrus flavor and effervescence, which, combined with the mild bitterness of the hops, makes for a wonderful, refreshing grapefruit finish. Doesn't have an unpleasant lingering aftertaste like many hoppy beers. My wife, who is not a fan of hoppy beers, said this is a beer that she would drink.

Score: 5/5
