Citra is probably the most popular strain among craft brewers. It has a distinct fruitiness with focus on citrus.
Cryo Hops® is a concentrated form of hops developed by Yakima Chief Hops, where much of the plant parts have been removed but oils and other flavors have been retained. Cryo Hops® can be used just like regular T90 pellets but are best suited for whirlpool or dry hopping. Compared to regular hop pellets, only 50% as much Cryo Hops® is needed to achieve the same taste results.
Common beer styles are IPA, NEIPA, modern American ale and lager.
Citras was developed by the Hop Breeding Company and has a heritage from five hop strains: US Tettnanger, Mittelfruh, East Kent Golding, Brewer’s Gold and one unknown strain. Launched in 2007 it's popularity has exploded and despite it's young age it is one of the most grown strains in the US today.
