Notes:

------

Start dry hop 2 days after primary fermentation completes; I started at 10 days. Then add additional dry hop additions every three days. Keg/Bottle 3 days after last hop addition to get off hops and avoid and grassy flavors.
Brewer uses Koppaclear tablets from Brewers Supply group as wort clarification agent. Whirfloc cleared mine up quite well, so I've substituted that in this recipe. Brewer uses Briess malts for all but 2-row and Honey. 2-row is Great Western, Honey is Gambrinus. Brewed with hard water - High in hardness, low in alkalinity.

Just started drinking this after bottle conditioned for 2 weeks.  intense hop aroma and flavour from the citra byt no over powering.  beautiful orange colur, a bit cludy and balanced hopyness.  Will definitly make again.  Missed the OG but final mae it around 7.5% ABV.  Would like to try a Pliny the Elder recipe next.
