Beer school.
One of the key ways to appreciate beer is to understand the individual ingredients. Think about it in food terms: the more herbs and spices you’ve tasted, the more likely you are to identify them in a dish and value the flavours they bring. A great place to start is with understanding hops, and this month’s beers are all brewed with citra – the world’s most popular aromatic hop variety.
With its intense citrus, tropical and stone fruit flavours, citra has been so successful that it’s redefined the flavour of modern beer for many drinkers, who now, when they think of craft beer, think of citrussy hops.
