If you like Citra, this homebrewed IPA will be a favorite. To complement the grapefruity-ness of the Citra we use Strata, a dank fruity hop, and some Xtra Pale Viking 2-row to give it a light straw color.
I’m not a huge Citra fan myself but this beer speaks to me. It’s super light and hoppy perfect for summer. We got a bit lower gravities than expected but I have a strong feeling (after much soul searching) that it was because I changed my estimated mash efficiency to 85% in Brewfather. This may have been wishful thinking since we were in the 60’s this time!
The specific Strata and Xtra Pale Viking Malt are available through MoreBeer!
