Here is another one from Stadin Panimo. A Citra single hopped American Pale Ale. 33 IBU. Batch 386.
| Stadin Panimo Citra Pale Ale | |
|---|---|
| Appearance |   |
| The beer has a golden-amber color, and is slighty hazy (the beer is unfiltered and bottle-conditioned), with a slight white head (producing some lacing along the glass). Very similar appearance to their Simcoe Lager. | |
| Smell | |
| The beer has a very fruity aroma, with citrus, mango and tropical fruits. You can definitely feel the presence of Citra. Slight sweetness is also present. | |
| Taste |  |
| The initial flavour is sweet and fruity, with a strong presence of tropical fruit. The fruity hop flavours dominate, with a weak malt presence. The flavour ends quite dry, with just a slight bitter tingle on the tongue. The flavours could be a bit stronger, and it almost feels like this beer has been watered down. | |
| Mouthfeel | |
| The body is quite dry and light, and the beer has moderate carbonation. The beer is easy to drink and refreshing, but I feel it would benefit from a stronger body. | |
| Overall | |
|---|---|
| I think this beer was slightly better than Stadin Panimo's Simcoe Lager, and it was a great example of the fruity properties of the Citra hop. A good beer, at a not all too bad price, from a Finnish microbrewery means I will probably drink this again, and buy Stadin Panimo's products in the future. | |
