I think that it looks really good. Nice mix of malt and good ol' American hops.

I have never used or even tried Citra hops, but they certainly seem to be gaining in popularity. I like the mid-level gravity too; I'm a fan of 'session' beers.

Let us know how it turns out. :mug:
 
Looks solid, how'd it turn out? I'd love to hear about it as I would love to brew something similar this weekend!
