Notes

After trying Zombie Dust pale ale, I became obsessed with Citra hops. I decided to make a pale ale all about them. I started with a recipe for a Sierra Nevada clone, .5lb Crystal 10L and .5lb cara pils. Straight to Ale only had cara pils so I used a pound of it. Beer came out great! I tried to go even more extreme but it wasn't as good, so the recipe above is the original recipe. It is dry hopped on a massive 3oz of Citra whole cones for ten days (and after I posted that as a review on Midwest they made a recipe doing it!). Its extravagant passion fruit and melon scent overpowers even the strongest of nostrils. Its bitterness is overshadowed by aromas and tastes more like a pale ale than an IPA. Best beer I have ever made.
