    I'm really blown away by the citra variation. Digging this much more than Simcoe and Ahtanum versions, which I thought were fine but not noteworthy. Any more detail on the differences among variations? Is it really just the dry hop that's changed?

    My brother just bought some and I'm dying to try it. Citra is so good. I'll let you know when I drink it.

    Haven't seen it out in distribution yet.
    Did you pick it up at CCB?

    Absolutely the best of the bunch. I haven't seen any updates in the other hop varieties but honestly I hope they just stick to Citra.

    NY just got Ahtanum. Preference is that over the original thus far, but if you're drinking this in Puerto Rico (gf has family there) it's perfect.

    Citra should be making it's way around soon.

    Was alternating between this and White Oak last night. It was a great night, lol. Seriously though this is my favorite of the series so far.

    If only CCB could release a mixed 6 pack of the different variants so we could compare each hop type side by side. It was great to drink the Ahtanum and Citra side by side and comparing how the "same" base beer was so different depending on the hop

    If you're in Tampa/Hillsborough, JJ Taylor is still trying to sell Ahtanum, it'll be a little while longer until you see Citra.

    The Citra variant is by far the best!

    I see plenty of the Ahtanum here. Guess I'll just have to wait patiently

    Is this coming out again, or a one-off?

    i told Wayne about the big buzz for Citra, myself being a huge fan as well. he definitely loves to hear about that sorta thing so hopefully we can arrange it to be brewed again.

    I did te same thing in the golf course the other day and after drinking the citra followed by white oak, I got a lot more vanilla from the white Oakes variant. I loved it!
