Description

  • Unanimously loved as a late addition or dry hop in Hazys, West Coast IPAs, Pale Ales, and other hop-forward styles
  • With a high AA%, this hop can also be used as an early boil addition for bittering
  • Whole Cone Hops are perfect for mash tun hopping to add an extra layer of flavor and work great for dry hopping since they won't sink to the bottom of your fermenter

Possibly the most popular modern brewing hop around. Citra® hops are highly sought after among craft and home brewers for their intense citrus aroma and flavor. Citra® boasts grapefruit and lime aromas along with gooseberry, passion fruit, and lychee notes. You simply can't go wrong using these hops for late additions or dry hopping when you want to make that ultimate hop bomb Hazy IPA. Citra® also has a fairly high alpha acid content making it a solid choice for bittering IPAs, Pales, and American Ales.

Whole cone hops are typically the preffered format for dry hopping as they maintain contact with the beer by floating, they are easier to remove than pellets and they add a unique character to the beer. Adding whole hop cones directly to the mash tun is also a great way to add an extra layer of hop flavor and to clarify your wort as it filters through the flowers. Used in so many craft brewed pale ales, but none more famous than Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale. You cannot go wrong using Cascade in all kinds of American style ales.
