Oakham Ales were the first English brewery to use Citra hops and going on this evidence they got it right first time. Citra is a single hop American style Pale Ale. It has some grapefruity hoppiness and is a very pleasant beer. If I had a few of these in the fridge on a fine sunny afternoon like this I would be happy out!
A great accompanying beer to this is Green Bullet by Mountain Man beers – these are wonderful alternatives to things like Brooklyn Summer ale, or the Sierra Nevada Summerfest beer. Also, Blacks of Kinsale Session is another great ‘buddy’ beer to this.

You’ve put that a lot better than I did!
I love this cites along with its hop and malt bill very good ale. I highly recommend it.
