Has anyone of your members tried the new Citra hop from the states
It would be good to get some feed back as I am contemplating buying some and developing an American style ale
Thinking along the lines of three varieties cascade, Citra and nelson sauvin in the same brew go with US 05 a see what happens
Any and all feed back appreciated
Hi speedie, I have brewed with it twice using the hopburst method. Lovely passionfruit aromas and Juicy Fruit flavours.
Recipe for what it's worth.
