Free Will Citra Pale Ale

I was looking for something bold and intense to enjoy before dinner, so I rummaged through my stock and came up with Free Will's fourth variety, the only one from the box I haven't tried yet, their Citra Pale Ale:

Impression:

I started pouring this beer the same way I pour all my beers (I like head, what can I say?), but there was an over-bubbling issue.  Not sure why that happened -- the beer had been sitting for a couple weeks untouched, so it wasn't agitated, and it had been at a steady 40F.  So it took me like 10 minutes to pour the whole bottle, and that kind of sucked.  Hopefully it was a one-off.  Anyway, the beer has an enticing aroma, mainly citrus and biscuit/bread.  There's also a bit of grass and something of caramel in the background.  The flavors were mainly citrus (lemon and orange) and biscuit/cracker, with a more pronounced caramel note.  As the beer warmed, the caramel faded out and grass and a bit of pine came out a bit more, and towards the end of my glass, I thought I tasted some grapefruit as well.  The mouthfeel is medium-light, somewhat creamy, and the higher than expected carbonation added a bit of sting.  The aftertaste doesn't linger as long as I'd expect from a citrus-hop-heavy beer like this.  All in all, I'd have it again.

Cheers!
