Citra and Rye
Rye malt gives this full-bodied amber ale a spicy, peppery bite, caramel malt adds sweet honey-biscuit flavours, and bold, zesty Citra hops cut through a layered, complex malt base. Brewed in Bristol at 4.8% ABV. It has some history: in July 2019 it was on the beer list of Sunfest, the thirteenth annual beer festival at the Rising Sun in Sheffield.
