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.

Rocky off white head stayed on a translucent pale lemon coloured still body. Lemonade, sweet citrus & hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a tingle on the back. Tangy hops, bitter citrus, lemon, saccharin & pith with a slightly soapy finish.

Bottle from Tbone, 4.6% ABV. Pale blonde. Lychee and lemon in the aroma. Hoppy flavor with lychee, lemon and some grassy notes. Lingering lychee and earthy hops aftertaste. A fine ale with a good hop character.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Lovely citra nose, light malt, oranges and lemons. Light, crisp, dry malt flavor, lovely hops, a bit tart from the oils. Grassy and bitter finish. Good stuff.
