Today's Special Extra Citra
Today's Special Extra Citra is the Citra-heavy version of Grimm's Today's Special series of American pale ales. It was first canned in 2018 and has returned regularly since. A large dose of Citra sits on top of Mosaic and Simcoe, and orange candy, ripe strawberry and white peach fuzz lead the flavour. The body is medium, the finish dry and crisp. At 5.5 per cent it carries the hop fruit of a hazy IPA at roughly the strength of a pilsner.
