Citra Unfiltered

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden pour that captures the unfined, unfiltered character of the brew. The cloudiness comes from suspended yeast and grain particles, lending visual warmth to the glass. Head retention is firm, with a fine, persistent collar that clings to the sides.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—lifted by the Citra hop's signature tropical fruit notes of passionfruit and peach. Beneath sits a subtle, bready malt foundation from the Maris Otter and wheat, grounded by the soft spice of oats. No harsh alcohol or solvent character.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and zesty, with the oat adjunct creating a silky, round mouthfeel that belies the beer's modest strength. Mid-palate shows layered citrus and stone fruit flavors from the single hop, balanced by a gentle, biscuity Malz sweetness. Bitterness builds cleanly in the mid-to-late palate, finishing at 40 IBU with a dry, hopped edge that doesn't overwhelm.

◑ Finish

Lively and lingering, the finish sustains the hoppy character without harshness. A pleasant dryness fades to a faint citrus and grain memory.
