Ten Ninety Citra Pale Ale

This beer had me at "Citra" and the discount price of a store brand. But sadly, you get what you pay for. Despite the wrap-around hop label, the Citra flavor not dominant nor pleasant in this. It tastes like a lager not an ale, a big misstep for me. And worst of all, it is so over carbonated that on the first sip my mouth literally inflated like a balloon, with so much pressure I almost had to spit, and should have. No my stomach feels the same way, and I've only had half the bottle. I was going to wait to rate this, since I have a six pack, but I came to rate it now because I may not even drink another. This may be a beer I just go ahead and pour out. And I never do that. SK
