Hop Drops Citra Extra Pale
An extra pale ale that puts Citra hops in front of a deliberately plain, clean malt base of extra pale pilsner malt and torrefied wheat. It pours light straw, and citrus and fresh hop notes define the aroma. The body is light, the taste crisp and refreshing, and the whole beer is built to be easy to drink rather than to make a statement of strength or bitterness.
