A Note on This Beer
The last time we offered today’s Citra Showers Double IPA it sold out so fast we thought the Tavour app was broken.
Seriously. Our members snatched up every last can of this 4.44 BA-rated sipper and quite a few hope fiends were left thirsty and begging for more.
Well, hopheads, get those beer-buying thumbs ready — we were able to secure a tiny stash of fewer than 60 cases and if history is any indication, it’ll be gone before you can say “100% Citra-Hopped.”
What makes this 8.8% ABV sipper so crave-worthy?
Well, for one thing, it’s crafted by Anaheim's Noble Ale Works. These guys captured the hearts of Cali craft fans nearly 10 years ago and their bold, flavor-packed brews even earned them a spot as one of CBS Los Angeles’s Best Breweries in Orange County.
Oh, and how could I forget that it's ranked in the Top 25 Imperial IPAs in the World on BA and outside of California, it’s almost impossible to find.
Which means scoring today’s juicy hopbomb will pretty much make you the envy of all your friends for a very, very long time.
I can’t really blame them. I mean, who wouldn’t be jealous when every sip of Citra Showers is bursting with layers of bright tangerine and zesty lime. Notes of lemongrass and passionfruit give way to hints of resinous pine and pithy grapefruit. The hefty ABV is hidden by a final wave of mango kush and creamy papaya, finishing soft and crisp.
So, before you call up your buddies and invite them over to indulge in this mouth-watering sipper, make sure you have enough to share. Because once your buds get a taste, there’s no way they’re leaving without drinking up your stash.
