Here’s your first peek at a new can coming from Ithaca Beer in Ithaca, NY. This is Flower Power With Citra Hops and it will be an IPA variant that uses Citra hops. The beer will hit 7.2%-AbV and you’re looking at the 16oz can.
This 11 Mar 2020 update from Ithaca:
Ithaca Beer Company will release its next Flower Power variant on May 1. Flower Power with Citra® Hops follows the successful 2019 release of Flower Power with Galaxy Hops as well as a number of small-batch and cask conditioned Flower Power variants served in the Ithaca Beer Co. Taproom.
This special Flower Power variant celebrates the Citra hop. First developed in 2007 in Yakima, WA, Citra remains highly sought after for its unique flavor characteristics and is one of the most coveted aroma hops available. Known for its lush tropical fruit flavors like peach, passionfruit, guava, lychee, grapefruit, lime and gooseberry, Citra lends itself well to this release. Flower Power’s floral, punchy pineapple and citrus profile, as well as clover honey sweetness are complemented by Citra’s distinct qualities. To accentuate the Citra profile, it was also included in the Whirlpool as well as well as two dry hop additions.
Ithaca Beer will release several more limited small batch Flower Power variants in 2020 including one with Mosaic hops and one with natural pineapple. The limited single Flower Power variants are available in 16 oz. 4-pack cans and draft.
