Westbrook Brewing Co. Citrus Redacted
Westbrook Brewing Co.'s Citrus Redacted is a vibrant and sneaky Double IPA that bursts with an intense, resinous showcase of fresh tangerine and orange zest. Brewed with real tangerine and heavily dry-hopped at an impressive rate of six pounds per barrel, it delivers an explosive bouquet of juicy citrus, bright tropical fruits, and a classic, grounding pine backbone. This golden pour hides its robust strength behind a clean, dry malt profile, offering an incredibly smooth yet bold drinking experience where bright, jammy citrus oils seamlessly meld with a firm, crisp bitterness that defines the style.
Appearance. Luminous, deep golden to light orange-amber with a slight, yeast-and-hop-induced haze. It supports a thick, persistent, off-white head that leaves dense, sticky lacing on the glass as it recedes.
Aroma. Intense, dominant aromas of fresh tangerine pulp and sweet orange zest, seamlessly integrated with a massive wave of tropical mango, passionfruit, and resinous pine. A very light, clean, neutral malt sweetness sits quietly in the background, accompanied by a subtle, clean alcohol warmth and no distracting fermentation byproducts.
Taste. The initial impression is a burst of juicy tangerine and bright citrus oils, quickly followed by layers of ripe tropical fruit and a sharp, clean pine character. Moderately high, assertive hop bitterness cleanses the palate, backed by a lean, neutral malt profile with minimal caramel presence. Finishes remarkably dry and clean, with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and a bright citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a soft, smooth texture that masks its strength. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively, crisp effervescence. There is no harsh, hop-derived astringency, and it delivers a gentle, well-integrated warming sensation from the alcohol.
