Sensory Profile

The Citra hop expresses itself generously on the nose: citrus (lime, grapefruit, orange), tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit) on an elegant and enveloping honeyed base. On the palate, the sweetness of honey is balanced by the citrus freshness of Citra, for a deep, enjoyable, and surprisingly complex drink. The finish is long, with the honey returning at the end, leaving a warm and floral memory.
