Citiva^™ Hops

Citiva^™ stands as an innovative, high-impact proprietary hop blend engineered by the BSG Hop Solutions Program to serve as a premier, tailor-made offering for modern hazy and juicy India Pale Ales. Officially launched in 2020, this specialized matrix was systematically developed through exhaustive, multi-round brewing trials rather than sourced from a single cultivated vine. By meticulously combining select Pacific Northwest varieties prized for their high oil survivability and rich concentrations of key aromatic compounds, Citiva^™ simplifies the complex hopping process for craft and home producers alike. It ensures that the explosive, delicate tropical top notes demanded by modern beer drinkers remain remarkably stable, making it an exceptional tool for intensive late-stage whirlpool, active fermentation, and dry-hop additions.

The sensory profile of Citiva^™ is a lush, vibrant masterclass in juicy stone fruits and bright, zesty botanical character that effortlessly captures the essence of a tropical orchard. The bouquet opens with an intense, forward aroma of velvety soft peach/[tag], ripe [tag]apricots, and sweet mango/[tag] flesh. This dripping fruit sweetness is immediately balanced by a refreshing, sharp mid-palate burst of fresh [tag]lime peel and bright citrus zest. Deep in the background, a highly refined, supporting layer of sweet floral blossoms and clean resinous pine wood emerges, providing a grounding structural framework that keeps the juicy, fruit-forward essential oils perfectly crisp and balanced without ever becoming cloying.
