Here is another Citra single hopped pale ale, which has gotten some good reviews in the Finnish beer community. It is also readily available in larger K-Supermarkets and K-Citymarkets (here in Finland), so it should be easy to find if you want to try it out. Note: The picture above makes the beer seem darker and redder than it really is.

The beer is great showcase of the fruity Citra hop, and a very refreshing beer. It isn't super hoppy, bitter, or malty, but a well balanced session beer that's light and tasty. |
