Dripping In Green: Citra

Tap to rate

Dripping In Green is the series in which one hop variety is loaded into a beer in every form the brewery can source, and this first edition uses Citra throughout. A simple malt base keeps the colour light and the haze dense. Pineapple, melon and lime dominate the aroma, with passionfruit and mango on the palate and a twist of grapefruit zest at the back. Bitterness is low and the body soft, which leaves the hop exposed.

Pale straw yellow with a dense, persistent haze throughout the body. The head is substantial and creamy, with good retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, giving the beer a soft, pillowy appearance characteristic of the hazy IPA style.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with mango and passionfruit flavours unfolding across the mid-palate. A gentle twist of grapefruit zest arrives late, adding definition without aggression. Bitterness is restrained and refined, allowing the hop character to remain in the foreground while the body stays light and creamy.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
