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.

(bottle) Clear, greenish golden colour with a short foamy white head. Fruity hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, grapefruit and an exotic touch, backed by a mildly malty touch. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied but not watery mf, crispy palate. Dry and soft malty base with citric and tropic-fruity hops, lingering into the dry and moderately bitter finish. Not a complex brew but nevertheless pleasant. 25.IX.13

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dror S.’s place. Thanks Dror S. Slightly hazy yellowish pale golden with a white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma with tropical fruits and a "green" weedy character. Rather dry flavor with lots of hops, "green" and a bit fruity, with a pleasant lingering bitterness. Medium-bodied. Really nice and refreshing, very easy-drinking

50cl bottle at Oluthuone Kaisla, Helsinki. Pours pretty clear golden with a white head. Lovely hoppy aroma with tropical fruits, citrus, pale malt and notes of berries. Moderate sweet with lovely fruity flavours and a nice bitterness. Bitter aftertaste with fruity notes and citrus. Easy to drink and quite delicious. (2013-08-18)
