Citra IPA and Hop substitution

[Adeering]

So wanted to try Citra hops with a citrus IPA and made the recipe, but when I went to order the ingredients realized that citra hops are out of stock everywhere due to a shortage. So trying to find a good substitute to replace it. Heres the recipe:

Just bought them here: http://www.hopsshack.com/store/HP1090.html. I've never dealt with them before. They shipped within a few hours.

A little pricey. I hope it's worth it.

While not a perfect substitute, I found Galaxy hops to be similar to Citra.

 

[terrapinj]

fresh hops has them in leaf form

I found Falconers Flight (which is a blend of 7 C hops) to give a big tropical hop nose that is similar to Citra in an IPA I just did.

I have bought from both hop suppliers. Currently A Ton Of Hops has citra cheapest.

The Hops shack has them: http://www.hopsshack.com/store/HP1090.html

and so does
