Earlier this year we had someone join a homebrew club meeting that had acquired multiple 5+ pound bags of different hops from a hop tea company and was giving them out at the meeting. Other than the Citra hops I hadn’t used any of the hops that he had before so jumped at the opportunity to use some of them for my next batch. I came up with a quick IPA recipe and used ChatGPT to come up with a name.

The Citra hops are actually from 2016, though I have fresher from the same meeting, and I have kept them in the freezer, vacuum packed, since then which included moving to a my new house. Though I have only tasted it while kegging I am pleasantly surprised by how this has turned out so far. Can’t wait to try it in a few days once it’s carbbed and cold!
