Citra

Beverage

Citra

S tier

Citra is a modern superstar aroma hop packed with tropical fruit, lime, and passionfruit-leaning oils at high intensity—defining many twenty-first-century IPAs and pale ales. Alpha is substantial; a little dominates the nose. Proprietary release made it a craft-era icon. Late kettle, whirlpool, and heavy dry-hop for hazy and West Coast IPAs. Can overwhelm delicate malt bills—pair intentionally. Store cold; tropical oils are fragile.
