CITRAHOLIC
Citraholic is a West Coast IPA from Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach, California, built around an unabashed devotion to Citra hops. It pours a clear golden-amber with a bright white head that lingers with fine, persistent lacing. The aroma is an exuberant rush of tangerine, ripe mango, and freshly zested lime, layered over a clean biscuit malt backbone. On the palate, the Southern Californian sunshine comes through in waves of tropical citrus and passion fruit, balanced by a firm, resinous bitterness that keeps things grounded. The finish is dry, clean, and satisfyingly bitter — the hallmark of a well-crafted West Coast IPA. Straightforward, unapologetic, and dangerously drinkable.
