Citra®

Citra®, developed in the USA by John I. Haas, is a versatile hop with an incomparable citrusy profile. It was publicly released in 2008 even though it was bred by hop breeder Gene Probasco in the 1990s. It’s arguably one of the most popular and iconic hops in the market - without it, pale ales, IPAs and NEIPAs may not have taken off the way they did! Citra® is the delicious foundation and star of many fruit-flavoured beers.

Alpha acid: 11 – 14.3%

Aroma profile: Consistently citrusy, predominant aroma of grapefruit, as well as sweet sun-ripened mango and pineapple, sharper flavors of gooseberries, blackberries and red currants, subtle hint of lilac to round the aroma out with a gentle floral note.
