Assertively bitter and very dry.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Karma Citra IPA
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, persistent head. The beer displays fine carbonation and good lacing retention on the glass, characteristic of a well-crafted IPA with balanced wheat and oat content in the grist.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright lemon rind and tropical fruit notes, underpinned by a soft pine resin character from the generous Citra hopping. Subtle honey and wheaten notes provide gentle sweetness and texture, while the overall impression remains fresh and herbaceous without sharp alcohol heat.
◐ Taste
Medium-bodied with an approachable entry that balances hoppy bitterness against subtle malt sweetness. The mid-palate showcases layered tropical and citrus flavors with persistent resinous undertones, while the pronounced bitterness remains smooth and integrated rather than harsh. Wheat and oat adjuncts contribute gentle texture and a touch of honey character.
◑ Finish
Closes dry and resinous with lingering pine hop character. The aftertaste is clean with no lingering sweetness, leaving a pleasant bitter-herbal impression that invites the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Karma Citra 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.
