Raise a glass for Beer Saturday
It's Saturday again folks meaning that a few like-minded beer enthusiasts under the expert stewardship of the main man @detlev share some beers of the world. You might even get a story, a joke, a rundown of a great night out or an even better night in.
My wife surprised me with a few tins of this one and I have never had it before, so it will be interesting to see what it registers on the Beerometre at the bottom of the post. I think she must figure that I love paddle and rowing, as I have been following Irishman Damian Browne and his amazing row across the Atlantic. Here comes some unapologetic self-promotion!
This is my series of posts all about the Atlantic crossing in case you want to have a read. Trust me it is an unbelievable undertaking that these two best friends took on and anyone into sports and challenge will enjoy them.

Back to the Beer
Ok, so back to the Paddle Citra Single Hop IPA. I must say I was really looking forward to giving it a go, as I have had quite a few Citra IPAs over the years and they have always been decent, so would this one measure up? Let's find out.
Ok, so it's the thought that counts and it's always nice to get some surprise beers, but this one was distinctly average at best to be honest - you win some, you lose some.

Thanks to @detlev for this ongoing and excellent contest for beer lovers around the world. Why not join yourself? Just tell a story about beer with a few photos or drink a beer and tell us about it.
I saw the ABV at 4.7% and thought . . . maybe not. Most of the IPA here in America pop the top at 6% and above which probably accounts for the popularity among younger folks.
Ya, I tend to like those stronger ones alright, this one just had a bit of an off taste, just very tart and bitter aftertaste. More like a beer you mate brewed, than something from a craft brewery..
