Citra – Dry-Hopped Mead
Bright. Bitterless. Bold. Citra is Back.

Citra hops have always been a personal favorite—even back in the homebrew days. Known for their intensely peach-forward, citrus-packed profile, Citra delivers notes of grapefruit, lime, passionfruit, and mango, with hints of lychee and gooseberry. We always knew it would be a natural fit with orange blossom honey, and now that pairing has found its home in our annual dry-hopped release: Citra.
This mead is hopped after fermentation, meaning there’s no bitterness—just bright, bold hop flavor layered into a dry, citrus-forward honey wine. It’s approachable for traditional mead drinkers, yet adventurous enough to pull in IPA fans or anyone looking for something a little unexpected.
Citra mead isn’t about compromise. It’s a full expression of what honey and hops can do when they’re treated with care. The balance of acidity, citrus zest, and peachy aromatics make this mead refreshing and food-friendly—perfect for hot days, long evenings, and everything in between.
But be warned: this is a seasonal release, and it doesn’t stick around long. Once it’s gone, it’s gone until next year.
Who’s it for?
If you love dry meads, hoppy beers, or anything that leans into bright, tropical notes without added sweetness, this is your bottle. It’s also great for those who want to experience how hops can transform a mead without overpowering it.
Pairing Suggestions
Fish and chips, grilled white fish, or shrimp tacos with lime crema. The acidity and hop character make this mead a great counterpoint to fried foods and flaky textures.
Serving Tips
Serve chilled. No need to age—this mead is meant to be enjoyed fresh and vibrant.
