Spectrum Citra® Hop Extract – 100% Pure Hop Aroma
Spectrum Citra Hop Extract for Concentrated Citra Aroma with Cleaner Dosing
Spectrum Citra is a hop extract format built for brewers who want the highly recognizable aroma profile of Citra with less vegetal material and more precise post-fermentation control. Rather than acting like a standard pellet addition, Spectrum is typically used where brewers want to maximize hop aroma impact while minimizing the handling and beer loss that can come with large dry hop charges.
That makes it particularly appealing in modern hop-forward brewing where aroma intensity is critical but process efficiency also matters. Its value is in delivering concentrated Citra expression in a format better suited to controlled late-stage aroma work.
Flavor and Brewing Character
Spectrum Citra is intended to express Citra-like citrus, tropical fruit, and bright hop aroma in concentrated extract form. It is most useful for brewers looking to add high-impact aroma rather than relying on it as a direct one-for-one replacement for every traditional hop addition.
In the brewhouse, Spectrum hop extract is best used according to supplier guidance for late aroma dosing and post-fermentation additions. It fits naturally in pale ale, IPA, hazy IPA, and other hop-forward beers where brewers want strong Citra-driven aroma with cleaner process handling.
Why Brewers Choose Spectrum Citra
Brewers often choose Spectrum Citra because it helps deliver the signature appeal of Citra while reducing vegetal load and improving aroma-dosing control. It is a strong option when the goal is maximum modern hop aroma with more efficient brewhouse execution.
