Day 5: Widmer Brothers' Citra Blonde Summer BrewMy recent jaunt over to Yakima taught me a lot about the beloved Citra hop. First, it is hard to get. Second, it smells amazing. Third, I have become a bit obsessed with finding beers that contain it. That being said, when my eyes spotted a six pack of Widmer Brothers' Citra Blonde, I was sold. That sought after Citra aroma floated out of the bottle as I poured it into a pint. My first sip didn't match the hoppiness I expected. As the beer warmed up, the pale malt and citrus hop melded better together and made for a more enjoyable beer. Although your instinct will be to drink this one ice cold, do you taste buds a favor, and let it warm up just a bit to unleash all of the flavor.
