Hey beery peeps, tonight I am going to review CITRA by Oakham Ales. This brewery claims to be first in the UK to commercially brew with Citra hops. It is described as a light refreshing beer with pungent grapefruit, lycee and gooseberry aromas leading to a dry bitter finish. This beer came courtesy of Oakham Ales.
