Joule’s Citra Blonde

Brewed with spring water sourced from the Triassic Aquifer beneath Joule’s brewery in Market Drayton, Citra Blonde is made to be light, delicate and refreshing. It brings together citrus freshness, subtle malt and a lively hop character without becoming heavy or aggressively bitter.

Why order it?

Choose Citra Blonde if you want a first step from lager into ale, or if you fancy a lighter pint with more aroma than a standard pale lager. At 3.4% ABV, it is a sensible lower-strength choice when you want flavour without too much weight.

Taste profile

Expect a blonde ale with citrus aroma, hoppy lift, refreshing lemon notes and a clean finish. The malt character stays subtle, giving the beer enough body to feel rounded while keeping the overall impression bright, light and easy-drinking.

Hops, malt & IBU

Joule’s describes Citra Blonde as being brewed with three hop varieties and three malt varieties, but does not publicly list the exact names of those varieties or publish an official IBU. For that reason, we do not guess the recipe here.

What we can safely say is that Citra Blonde is built around citrus aroma, lemony freshness, subtle malt and a clean hoppy character, making it one of the lighter and more refreshing ale choices on the bar.

Food pairing idea

Citra Blonde works well with lighter pub food, salty snacks and relaxed grazing. Try it with crisps, pickles, cheese, pork pie, deli boards, chicken, fish or a beer garden afternoon — the citrus lift and clean finish keep it fresh from first sip to last.
