Notes: Introducing Karma Citra, an IPA with a twist that's as delightful as it is cheeky. We've taken inspiration from the British penchant for colonization and flipped the script, infusing this brew with the karma of the Karma Sutra and the zest of citrus to create a libation that's both tantalizing and tantalizingly rebellious.

Picture yourself lounging under a tropical sun, sipping on the essence of cosmic retribution. Karma Citra marries the bold flavors of Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, and Galaxy hops, blending them into a symphony of citrusy goodness that dances on your palate like an exotic rendezvous.

With each sip, you'll find yourself immersed in a sensual journey of flavors, as the bright citrus notes intertwine with the tropical fruitiness, leaving you feeling deliciously enlightened. So go ahead, indulge in a little karma, and let the brewmasters' mischievous spirit guide you through a taste experience that's as liberating as it is satisfying.

Embrace the irony, sip the karma, and raise a glass to breaking free from the shackles of convention with Karma Citra. After all, what goes around, comes around... in the most delicious way possible. Cheers to liberation, one sip at a time.

Notes:
This version uses flaked oats and victory to build character.

Lactic acid to mash if needed to balance PH. Last batch required a small addition. Consider adding some Acidulated Malt instead.

First brew added .6ml lactic to mash due to high PH. Plus 5ml lactic to sparge. worked out very well with no acid tastes in the brew.

For next I have added acidulated malt to mash to replace its need for Lactic acid adjustment.

FERMENTATION NOTES:
Reused yeast from 8/25/20 Vote Responsibly IPA. Harvested on 9/10/20

TASTING NOTES:
Conditioning took 3 weeks to smooth out flavor.
Hop character subdued.
