US Citra CY25 brings American-grown Citra pellets to brewers building hop-forward and classic programs alike. It is a strong fit for hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, and modern pale ale, and any recipe where its signature character should lead or support the beer.

Expect grapefruit, lime, and passionfruit. Citra performs consistently across kettle and dry-hop additions, with results that track closely to the lot analysis on the COA.

This hop is available in professional brewing formats, including 11 lb foils and 44 lb boxes. Choose the 11 lb nitrogen-flushed foil for maximum freshness on aroma-critical additions, or the 44 lb box when this hop anchors a recurring dry-hop program and purchasing efficiency matters.

Hop analysis values vary by crop year and lot. For exact alpha acid, beta acid, total oil, and lot number, confirm the active lot through the COA or product documents before final recipe calculations. Store cold and sealed until use.

Brewer Notes

US Citra Hops — The Modern IPA Benchmark

Citra is the most recognizable American hop in modern craft brewing, and for good reason: intense grapefruit, lime, and passionfruit character that defines the contemporary IPA. It performs everywhere from first wort to dry hop, but it earns its price tag in late and dry-hop additions where its aroma oils do the talking.
Best Brewing Fit
Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, double IPA, and modern pale ale. Also excellent as the bright top note in hoppy lagers and mixed-hop bills where one variety needs to carry the aroma.
Brewing Guidance
If Citra anchors your hop-forward program, the 44 lb box is the efficient buy — most Citra-heavy breweries burn through it fast enough that freshness is never a concern. The 11 lb foil suits pilot batches, seasonal releases, and smaller systems.
Pro Brew Advantage
We select Citra lots by COA, not by brochure — the exact alpha, oil, and lot number for what's in our warehouse is always posted in the COA library. And because it ships on the same pallet as your malt, adding Citra to a grain order usually adds almost nothing to freight.
Aroma Notes
Grapefruit, lime, passionfruit, tropical fruit; resinous undertone in heavy dry-hop rates.
Best Beer Styles
Hazy IPA; West Coast IPA; Double IPA; American Pale Ale; Hoppy Lager
