Kern River Brewing Citra DIPA
8.5% ABV | Double IPA | 4-pack of 16oz (473mL) cans — Kern River Brewing Citra DIPA is the seasonal double IPA from Kernville, California's Kern River Brewing Company (founded September 2005): a single-hop showcase built around Citra hops, released each fall with the brewery's annual Citra release party every November. In the brewery's own words: "The beer that started it all and ruined the hop-farming world forever... a timeless Double IPA that we love making and you love drinking." Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Citra is the beer-geek's DIPA — a limited seasonal run, not a year-round shelf beer, and one of the IPAs that defined the modern hop-forward style out of Kernville. If you know, you know; if you don't, this is the 4-pack to learn with. Check the can for the current batch — this is a fall seasonal and stock is limited to the release run.
Tasting notes
Style-typical for a Citra-driven DIPA: bold hop character over a sturdy malt backbone. (No detailed brand tasting notes published — specifics vary by batch.)
