Citra hop cone

Citra® HBC 394

Citra® is one of the most popular aroma hops in modern craft brewing, celebrated for its intense tropical fruit and citrus character. Bursting with vibrant notes of lime, grapefruit, and passionfruit, Citra brings juicy, mouthwatering flavors and a fragrant bouquet to IPAs, pale ales, and a variety of hop-forward beers. Its moderate alpha acids and high aromatic oils make it perfect for late additions, whirlpool, and dry hopping.

Sensory Analysis

Amarillo is a game-changer for our brews. The bright citrus punch especially the orange and grapefruit notes, bring our IPA to life. It's smooth and versatile and delivers the  bold aroma we love.
