Citra Single Hop IPA
A single hop IPA that uses Citra at every stage over a plain base of Irish pale ale malt. Pale orange with a fluffy white head, it smells like tropical fruit juice, the sweet top note undercut by a bitter edge. Passion fruit, guava and ripe lychee run through a full-bodied, juicy palate that is both sweet and tart, held in check by a strong, persistent orange-pith bitterness. The aftertaste is firmly bitter with a juicy citrus bite.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Citra Single Hop IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
