Building on a previous recipe collaboration with YCH, we've used Leaf, T90, Cryo, Dynaboost & Hyperboost to keep exploring every facet of Citra’s enduring popularity.
A newly-designed water profile has created a light and fluffy texture for maximum drinkability, ensuring the hops shine to the last drop.
Impact, tweaks & the love of citra.

A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, an equally light creamy sweetness. Right then, Citra delivered every which way till Sunday! Honestly cannot keep up with all these different hop treatments, mainly because I am utterly unconvinced they make a tangible difference most of the time. Here we have crisp cooling pine, a light but notable green hop skunk. Reasonably bright orange mandarin and a little tangerine. A pinch of hop spice. Light crisp finish. Yeah, a decent and very drinkable Citra dipa. Have I had much better straight Citra DIPAs? Yes. Have I had better Citra IPAs and APAs - yes! So, what are all these specialist hop treatments delivering here? Absolutely feck all as far as I can tell. Just a nice Citra dipa.

Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Tropical hoppy aroma of peach and mango with a touch of orange peel. Sweetish fruity flavour with a mild bitter finish.

Can picked up at A Can Shop can and drunk at home (13/10/2024) - opaque orange pour with a creamy white head. Loads of juicy fruity notes of mango and orange, citrus peel, melon and peachy accents, hop spice, sitting upon a nice creamy sweet malty backbone, robust hoppy finish. Lovely drop.
