Dark Rock Citra SMASH – PART GRAIN Beer Kit

Dark Rock Citra SMASH Mini Mash Beer Kit

Citra Single Hop IPA allows you to develop a taste for specific hops. Citra is one of the big hops and a favourite of craft brewers. Citra hops provide intense citrus aroma and flavours. Grapefruit and lime aromas punch through, along with gooseberry, passion fruit, and lychee notes. It makes a powerful late hop addition and is very effective for dry hopping too. Citra hops have a fairly high alpha acid content making it a good choice for bittering IPAs, Pales, and American Ales.
