Notes

From 12 West Brewing in Gilbert, Arizona, here’s a recipe for their Citra-Mosaic lager that scored a 98 with our blind-review panel and went on to become one of our Best 20 Beers in 2023.

“This recipe is meant to bring the citrus notes of Citra hops and the juicy, tropical flavors and aromas of Mosaic hops into a package that is crisp and refreshing,” says Justin “Gully” Gullickson, co-owner and head brewer at 12 West. “Using only whirlpool hop and dry-hop additions allows us to keep the bitterness low, but it still delivers tons of flavor and aroma that are complemented by the simple grain bill.”

Boil for 90 minutes. After the boil, switch off the heat and do a whirlpool step: Add the whirlpool hops, stir or recirculate for 10 minutes to create a vortex, and allow 25 minutes to steep. Chill the wort to about 53°F (12°C), aerate well, and pitch the yeast.

Ferment at 55°F (13°C) for 5–7 days, then raise to 62°F (17°C) for 5 more days. Step crash by 5°F (~3°C) a day until at 35°F (2°C), then lager for 4–6 weeks. Add dry hops 5 days before you package, and carbonate to about 2.6 volumes of CO2.
