Citra T90 Hop Pellets

Description

Citra T90 Hop Pellets are a highly aromatic American hop known for their intense citrus and tropical fruit character. Grapefruit, lime and other bright citrus notes combine with tropical and stone fruit aromas to create a distinctive modern hop profile.

Citra has become a favourite for hop-forward beer styles because of its powerful aroma and versatility. Its high alpha acid content also allows brewers to use it for bittering, although late additions can really showcase its fruit-driven character.

Aroma & Flavour

Citra can contribute:

• Citrus
• Grapefruit
• Lime
• Tropical fruit
• Stone fruit
• Light floral notes

Its bold fruit character makes Citra particularly useful when you want a fresh and expressive hop aroma.

Brewing with Citra Hops

Citra works well as a dual-purpose hop. You can use it for bittering, flavour and aroma additions throughout the brewing process.

However, late-boil, whirlpool and dry-hop additions can highlight its citrus and tropical fruit character. Citra also pairs well with other fruit-forward hops, making it a popular choice for layered hop combinations.

Suitable Beer Styles

Citra is well suited to:

• American Pale Ale
• India Pale Ale (IPA)
• Hazy IPA
• Double IPA
• Session IPA
• American Wheat Beer
• Blonde Ale
• Modern hop-forward ales

Hop Substitutes

If Citra is unavailable, possible substitutes include Mosaic, Galaxy and Amarillo. These hops can provide some of the citrus, tropical fruit and fruit-forward character associated with Citra.

However, each hop has its own flavour profile and alpha acid level. Therefore, adjust your recipe and hop quantities as required when making a substitution.
