Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Look for something with lower alpha acids, or ones that are particularly fruity like Citra.
  • Both create good beers.
  • It's a no-brainer, if you want to make something like the original or in the style of a black IPA to use Citra.
  • Best tasting would probably be that citra.
  • risk grassy flavours instead of tasty Citra and Talus aromas..

Cons

  • Recipe called for 3oz each of Galaxy 16.2% and Citra 11.8% at a 168 degree hopstand.
  • Standard IPA base recipe, US-05, medium bitter-hop, lots of citra @ whirlpool.

It will be fine, Kveik at high temps just creates more citrus, tropical esters. That will work well with your Citra smash beer.

I've had Citra, Columbus & mosaic in the freezer for nearly three years (bought a kg of each on a great deal) and they're still good without vacuum sealing.

citra is more of a new world fruity/citra ipa, so typically people do less so4 forward beers with it, and add more CaCl.
