Citra®
Citra™ is a special aroma hop variety developed by the Hop Breeding Company (a joint venture between John I. Haas, Inc. and Select Botanicals Group, LLC). It was released in 2007. Citra™ has fairly high alpha acids and total oil contents with a low percentage of cohumulone content. The variety imparts interesting citrus and tropical fruit characters to beer.
- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

This is the best beer I have brewed to date. Nose is full of Amarillo from dry hop, citrusy, and irresistible. Mouthfeel is bubbly, and stimulating. Warrior provides great, even bittering. Making my mouth water just thinking of this. Finish is clean, light and crisp. This IPA is out-of-this-world!
