Citra Ass Down is a brilliantly named double IPA from Louisville,
Kentucky. Brewed by
Against the Grain Brewery, the brew tilts the scale
at a robust 8.2%. It comes in wacky 16 oz cans and pours a faintly hazy
bronze under a cloud of cream-coloured head. The beer has a powerfully
boozy aroma, with notes of tangerine. It’s a sweet, strong ale, with a
flavour that is both juicy and a little floral. The back end is rich in
citrus and evergreen hops.
Perhaps a bit too sweet,
but Citra Ass down is a pretty substantial offering with a big flavour
and some serious punch. If it were readily available to me, I bet this
would be a frequent presence in my refrigerator.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
