This is my first ever rebrew - original brew is here.

Will post pics when I've taken some!

Very nice, Skittles.

Hey look--Pinto, Barney, and Monkeybrew--more Galaxy pale ale. It's spreading like wild fire!

Pictures then:

Lunchtime beverage. This was REALLY good, I was surprised. Showcases the hop brilliantly. I will be having it again.

Looks fantastic. I like a good citra beer. I have brewed something very similar and that the only beer i've ever repeated!

This ended up at 1.042 this time, so we'll see what difference that makes! Probably not a lot.

Hey Skittlebrau, I was on the hunt for a flavoursome, single hop citra session ale and came across your recipe. Thinking of giving it a go - how did it turn out? Was the lack of an early addition hop any problem? Bitter enough? Let me know - it looks good!

Cheers in advance,

BTM

This beer is one of the best, if not the best I've ever brewed. It doesn't need a bittering addition. Go for it! This also works well with Simcoe, BTW.
