Martin the Mildman		14 Aug 2010	Superb very pale ale bursting with pungent hop aromas. The taste is full of fruity citrus hoppiness with good malt balance. The best example of this hop in a single hop beer that I have sampled. My score 17/20.

Bear & Ragged Staff		25 Feb 2012	Not the best pint of Citra I've had, this was a bit rough around the edges.
ChrisE		28 Jan 2011	I rareley give five stars, but this was exceptional.
Ian		26 Jun 2010	Many people give 5 stars on this site every week, but I will only give 5 stars if the beer is one of the best I've ever had. This was fantastic. The condition alone gives it a 5. But the hops, my god the hops. Beautiful. The hops are a variety of Simcoe created by Sierra Nevada in the States and gives a sauvignon blanc, gooseberry, cats pee, yellow grapefruit aroma and flavour. Best beer I had all day, all week, all month.
