Beachwood Brewing is the latest to enter the realm of canning starting with three beers….
Now, I would have put Foam Top into the 16oz tall can and put Amalgamator into the 12. But maybe that betrays which of the three I like the most.
Review – Citraholic from Beachwood
I am late to the party. This is my first time tasting the famed Citraholic from Beachwood Brewery.
This West-Coast IPA pours a pretty orange color. The aroma is mostly spice with lemon peel backing that up. The taste reinforces that duo with the lemon taking more of a co-star role. It tastes strong and a bit heavy almost to DIPA territory for me. But the lemon notes that alternate between just cut and a lemon pledge really works. And in the end it has an almost emonade quality.
Plus, Bless Beachwood for date stamping too. This bottle was 5 days old when I cracked it open.
Warrior, Columbus, Simcoe but mostly Citra
April 29th, Beachwood Brewing bottles up another fan favorite. This time their “modern” west coast India pale ale, Citraholic is brewed with an abundance of Citra hops and blended with Warrior, Columbus and Simcoe in the kettle (for good measure). The citrusy brew is then dry hopped with a massive charge of Citra, imparting heavy aromas of citrus and tropical fruits along with melon and gooseberry accents.
This one will probably go real fast so don’t dilly-dally.
