Citra® Brand HBC 394 is the most sought-after hop in modern craft brewing, known for its intense tropical fruit and citrus characteristics. These T-90 hop pellets deliver a complex profile of grapefruit, lime, melon, and lychee. While it has high alpha acids for bittering, Citra is most effectively used as a late-boil addition, whirlpool addition, or dry hop to maximize its signature punchy aroma in IPAs, Pale Ales, and Sours. This 1 lb bulk pack is nitrogen-flushed to ensure the freshest possible oils reach your brew. Hop Master Tip: To capture the maximum "juicy" aroma, dry-hop during the last 3-4 days of fermentation. Pair Citra with Mosaic or Galaxy for a classic "New England" fruit profile. Always store your hops in an airtight bag in the freezer to prevent oxidation of the delicate lupulin oils.
