Citra Hops are a popular hop variety known for their strong citrus and tropical fruit flavors, particularly notes of lime, grapefruit, and passion fruit. Developed in the United States in the 2000s, they are often used in India Pale Ales (IPAs) and other hoppy beer styles to enhance aroma and flavor. These hops are prized for their high alpha acid content, which contributes to bitterness in beer. Citra Hops are also valued for their versatility, making them suitable for both dry hopping and late additions during the brewing process, resulting in a vibrant and aromatic beer profile.
