Nottingham Citra
Nottingham Citra is a 4.2% pale ale dry-hopped with Citra, and the hop sets the agenda. Grapefruit dominates, pithy rather than sweet, with a zesty citrus lift in the aroma. The beer drinks refreshingly and ends on a tangy finish. Brewed regularly and served as cask ale, it is the newer, hop-led counterpart to the traditional bitters and milds of the range.

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
