Cellarmaker Citra Lite Crushable Ale
5.0% ABV
Cellarmaker's Citra Lite stands as the perfect answer to that craving for a crisp, flavorful, and aromatic light beer. Brewed with pilsner malt and rice, then meticulously dry-hopped with Citra hops, this modern crushable beverage delivers big, thirst-quenching fizzy sips. Lighter than a traditional pale ale, Citra Lite offers the refreshing profile of a pilsner, with an added burst of citrus and tropical fruit.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: The beer pours crystal clear with a pale straw hue and a fluffy white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.
- Aroma: Vibrant notes of ripe grapefruit, juicy mandarin, and fresh-cut pineapple leap from the glass, complemented by subtle hints of lemongrass and a whisper of pine.
- Flavor: The first sip delivers bright citrus flavors of tangerine and lime zest, balanced by a clean malt backbone. The pilsner malt provides a subtle cracker-like quality while the rice addition creates a crisp, dry finish that beckons another sip.
- Mouthfeel: Citra Lite presents a light body with lively carbonation that dances across the palate. Smooth and incredibly refreshing with zero lingering heaviness.
- Finish: The finish is clean, dry, and slightly hoppy with lingering notes of citrus peel and a gentle bitterness that cleanses the palate.
- Perfect Pairing: This beer pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood, light salads, spicy Thai dishes, or can be simply enjoyed on its own during sunny afternoon gatherings. It serves as the perfect companion for backyard barbecues, beach days, or any occasion that calls for maximum refreshment without sacrificing flavor.
- Brewing Philosophy: At Cellarmaker, the brewers believe light beer doesn't have to mean light on taste.
Citra Lite represents their commitment to crafting approachable beers that maintain complexity and character while remaining endlessly drinkable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
