Fulton Citra Double Dry Hopped 300 India Pale Ale

Fulton Citra Double Dry Hopped 300 India Pale Ale. 7 % ABV. 74 IBU, Fulton Beer Company, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, bright golden color, slim ivory head, lasting and lacey.

In the nose: bold, lively hops on display. Nicely citrusy.

In the mouth: A gentle deployment of hop bitterness starts it off. Light bodied and quite on the drinkable side, for the hopheads among us. If you're not in that club, it's clearly not for you. It's for me, though. Juicy and bitter at once, fresh and delicious.

I don't know if I like this better than regular 300, though. I'm still fine with that one.

What happens when you take one of your beloved (and hoppiest) beers and double-dry-hop it with CITRA? Well, you get overly joyous is what you get. We love hops so we decided to take one of our favorite IPAs and double up on the dry hop to create an IPA with an intense hop aroma. We dry hop 300 at a rate of 1.65#/BBL and then recirculate the beer to ensure we extract as many of the desired aromatic compounds as possible. For the DDH 300 we did that process twice for a total dry hop rate of 3.3#/BBL and re-circulated it twice.
