Citra (hops variety)

Citra is a popular hop variety used in brewing beer, especially craft beers. It’s known for its distinctive aroma and flavor profile, featuring strong citrus notes like grapefruit, as well as hints of tropical fruits, such as lychee and passion fruit. Citra hops contribute a bright, refreshing character to beers, adding both aroma and bitterness. They are highly valued by brewers for their versatility and ability to enhance the overall drinkability of the beer, making it more vibrant and flavorful. Originating from the United States, Citra has become a staple ingredient in many modern, hop-forward beers.
