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.

Teesside Beery Day Out Beer#1. Settles clear golden. Hoppy session ale, but with quite a full smoothish taste, and mild sweetener tropical notes. Managed to just make it to the Wetherspoon for this beer to accompany breakfast.

Tangy hops, bitter citrus, floral & pith tastes with a slightly soapy finish.
Way better from the Cask than bottle (obviously)
gave a cheers!

A dank and hoppy nose from a golden body, thin white head. There is a really fresh zestiness to the taste, and this is not a brand new bottle. Citrus hops featuring lemon and orange lead the way, with pepper, biscuit malt and a strong effervescence adding to the taste experience. Nice density and body for a 4.2% offering

Can’t believe not rated this before. So here goes. Pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are slight citrus and light sweet. Light body.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a white head that holds well. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon, soft malt and grapefruit. Flavour of orange pith and melon rind. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. A juicy, refreshing beer with a hoppy, slightly bitter finish. Oakham are Citra masters.

Bottle. Foggy golden. Moderate white head. The nose is a blast of lemony hops. Light body. Dry and hoppy taste. So clean. Citrus, dank, tropics. Medium bitterness. Well done.

Cask at The Crown, Eastbourne. Sweet and yummy pale ale from Citra that ticks the necessary boxes for a good cask pale - grippy and fruity. (February, 2025)
