The compelling, exceptional aroma of Citra hops once inspired us to brew a single hop IPA showcasing the character of this variety. Today, still impressed by the tropical and citrus fruit aromas that can be squeezed out of this hop, we give you our Imperial Citra IPA, one of our hoppiest beers.

500ml bottle. Opalescent, orangey golden colour with average, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy and biscuity, pale and slightly caramel malty aroma, notes of lemon, lemon tea, lemon biscuit, a touch of lemongrass, lemon zest. Taste is very bitter, citrusy, slightly strawy hoppy, biscuity pale malty basis with low residual sweetness, hints of lemon, bitter almond, a minimally chalky touch. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying, simultaneously minimalyl pungent palate, very fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Condensed, oily hop flavours, very bitter but not in a crisp way, well crafted - better than just good.

0,5 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! Love that pigtail label. Unclear orange golden in the glass, more than one finger frothy white head. Intensive tropical fruity smell. Taste starts with a strong hop bitterness, fruity balanced with strong malt. Some pine and sweetness in the background. Smooth and low carbonated. Very nice one with a long lasting aftertaste.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice small head. Fine hoppy-fruity aroma. Starts mild, soapy-hoppy, some moldy notes. Finish could be more balanced, bitter-hoppy. Strange...

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L's place. Thanks Max & Stas. Cloudy orange. Stale hops, oxidation, cardboard, a bit of honey, sweetish, bitter finish.
