The Can-O-Bliss Citrus IPA packs in a sextet of hops that deliver a wide range of citrus and tropical fruit flavors. So how was it? Let’s get to the review.
Appearance
The IPA pours a nearly opaque deep golden hue and is topped by an inch-thick cap of loose and soapy ivory white froth that shows fair retention. The head’s reduction leaves a smattering of residue on the glass.

The aroma is bright with a scent of orange citrus.
Flavor
Mild citrus leads the tasting and is followed by sweet and juicy pineapple and mango. The bitterness rises again with grapefruit and orange citrus that linger briefly beyond the finish. As the beer warms, there’s even a touch of floral hops that appear. A light bready malt ties the palate together.

Mouthfeel
The feel is crisp and dry and relatively smooth throughout. The body is medium with matching carbonation. The finish is less-than-moderately astringent and a touch acidic.
Overall
This beer had been sitting on a store shelf for a couple of months, and considering the style, a fresher example might have been better. Regardless, the appearance isn’t quite as good, but that’s nitpicking. The aroma is quite lovely but doesn’t last long after the pour. Again, a fresher example would probably have been better. The palate is superb with its juicy citrus and tropical fruit medley. The IBU count is on the high end for the style but the perceived bitterness is spot on. Overall, the Can-O-Bliss Citrus IPA is certainly a fine brew and definitely worth a try.
