Citra Jr.
Comet VF1181
An early version of the “C” type citrusy hop. A vigorous American heirloom variety. It is an all-purpose
hop used for bittering or as late additions to bring out the strong citrusy flavors. Result of a cross of
English “Sunshine” X wild Utah male around 1962- (10 years prior to Cascade). A potent high-oils hop
with “raspy” or “wild” bitterness; similar to Brewers Gold. 24-40”sidearms. Substitute: Citra, Summit.
Emerges in spring bright yellow and leaves green up somewhat as the bines mature. Currently being
described a Citra’s “little sister” by a major western hop supplier.
