About This Beer
Siren Sounds Like Citra Hazy IPA is a bright and expressive modern craft beer, designed for those exploring craft beer Ireland or looking to enjoy fresh, hop-forward flavours through craft beer online. Brewed by Siren Craft Brew in the UK, this hazy ipa beer focuses on showcasing the iconic Citra hop in a smooth, approachable format.
The beer pours with a signature haze, created through a combination of malt and yeast choices that enhance both texture and flavour. Unlike traditional IPA styles, this hazy ipa beer leans into softness rather than bitterness, delivering a juicy profile that highlights tropical and citrus notes.
Citra hops are at the centre of the experience, bringing forward flavours of ripe mango, zesty lime, and grapefruit. These are supported by a gentle malt base that adds body without heaviness, allowing the hops to shine without becoming overwhelming. The result is a beer that feels full of flavour while remaining easy to drink, making it a great option for both newcomers and experienced craft beer drinkers.
