Widmer Brothers Citra Blonde Summer Brew

Widmer Brothers is from Portland, Oregon.

This 4.3% ABV beer pours a light honey golden in color with a quarter inch of pure white foamy head that leaves light to medium lacing down the glass.  The aroma is strong with the Citra hops, loads of citrus, lots of tangerine, lemon, lime and mandarin orange, with a bit of tropical fruit and melon.  The taste has the fruits of the hops over a light but solidly flavorful  golden malt base.  The finish is zesty and with a refreshing citrus fruit aftertaste.  It is flavorful, but drinks very light.  If you love hop forward beers, this is the summer brew for you!  The label calls this "Satisfyingly Sessionable" which is true as it is like a "light" IPA; good for long, hot summer drinking.
