Citra Bomb IPA Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Citra Bomb IPA gives you intense citrus and tropical fruit character from the Citra hops added at multiple points in the boil plus the Citra Cryo dry hop addition. The 6 lbs. Pale Ale Dry Malt Extract forms a clean, dry base while the Victory Malt contributes toasty flavors, and the Carapils Malt plus flaked white wheat add body and head retention. SafAle US-05 ferments cleanly so the hop aromas stay prominent in your finished beer.

Your Label Peelers Citra Bomb IPA Original Beer Kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.
