Light gold in colour, bursting with citrus and tropical hop flavours and sensationally refreshing. The original UK Citra. In 2009 on his annual hop sourcing visit to the USA, Oakham's Brewing Director John Bryan discovered an exceptional new hop variety - Citra. He rushed it to the UK, ensuring that Oakham Ales were the first UK brewery to brew a beer with 100% Citra hops and maintaining Oakham's reputation for pioneering innovation. ABV: 4.2% in cask, 4.6% in bottle.

0,5L bottle, BB 05.11.2014. Pours pale golden with white head. The lacing is nice. Aroma is cat piss, pine, and mango. Taste: resin, slightly sweet, watery, and fruity. Overall: It’s drinkable, but there is nothing exciting or interesting here. I tasted several other beers at the same day and it was the worst one. Maybe in some other day it would get higher rating, but not this time.

Bottle. An almost clear one, golden in color, and topped by a small, dense, off-white head. It’s very citrusy on the nose, with tropical fruit hints, peaches and oranges, and a pleasant biscuity maltyness in the back. Some pleasant nutty, biscuity maltyness in the flavor too, more or less overpowered by the hoppy flavors. Balanced bitterness all the way. Full to medium body, with a silk soft carbonation. A really tasteful and pleasant pale ale. 131214

Bottle(purchased @ Sainsbury’s, Cromwell Road):Golden with a slight greenish haze and a persistent small white head, solid dry exotic-fruity and citric nose, supported by a hayish touch; robust dry bitter flavour with a very faint malty background, lkght bodied; lingering - what else - dry ( but not bone dry) citric hoppy finish, accompanied by exotic fruits and some well hidden malt. Very, very fine stuff…
