The second in our series of Hyperfocus single hop double IPA’s! This time, we’ve put the focus on Citra hops. A perennial favorite, Citra is beloved for its big tropical fruit character of mango and citrus, but it’s not a one-trick pony; this hop also displays additional layers of dank herbal aroma such as oregano, marijuana, and chive.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation comes through on the back end. Light bodied pale malts, a light but pleasing creamy sweetness. Citra bringing light pine, light and mildly ripe citrus. Touch of mango. Bold move but, sadly the old Warehorse hop feels a little lame here.

Aromas are a mild blend of citrus and resin and indistinctive. Flavors are similar to nose, leaning slightly sweet. Definitely drinkable but also definitely forgettable.

16 oz can from Wegmans, Woodbridge, 9/24/25. Fully hazy yellowish pour with a white head and some strong, drippy lacework. Grapefruit, orange juice, and pineapple. Fruity, a little sweet, some rind-style bitterness. Pretty good overall.

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 3/25/22. Moderately hazy, bright orange-blonde-peach with a small, but reasonably-well-retained, white head. Soft and peachy with tangerine and lemon, fruity esters from the yeast and a very soft, short bread-like maltiness featuring light honey. Floral/dank hops on the end with light orange juice lingering. Juicy, not overly so, on the drier side as Grimm IPAs are these days (like very, very dry). But enough juiciness to take it home with soft honey and light fruity esters. Very nice, well-constructed and executed with no rough edges, resin or flaw.

Draught at the source: pours opaque haze with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, citrus. Taste is citrusy with a sharp fruity bitterness. Plus some herbs. Did not get much weed in there. Quite spicy. Good enough.
