Art Brew, Hip Hop Extra: Citra

Another citra beer.....this one from Dorset's finest. I think this was quite different to other citras I've had recently - still quite sweet, but the taste wasn't that lemony citrus thing as such. (I had a curry that night, the strong flavours of which may have affected the taste I suppose.) The after-bitterness rested at the back of the tongue. This wasn't a palette obliterator, but close! I felt this drink was running in the same pack as the Arbor Yakima, the Tap East Galaxy and the By the Horns 'Hop Sonnet': hop overload orchestrating a dense, heady, resin stupor. Was there a gentle touch of Saison-esque spice in there? Or were the resins making me imagine things? Was nice to drink 500ml of this. Hic.
