what yeast to compliment citra?

[gotbags-10]

So I'm on a huge citra kick right now. I've used s-04 and wlp001 thus far. Both pretty clean yeasts. I want to branch out and I know there are yeasts that have some fruity esters to them. Which ones work well with citra? Conan, 1272 etc....?

There's that vermont super-yeast that's supposedly amazing as far as fruity esters goes.

Brulosopher took a look at it recently (link to a commercial brew too)

I'm a fan of 1272 fermented warm, around 72-74°. Nice and citrusy.

I also like 1272 with Citra. I prefer it a little cooler at 66°F. I do want to try the Conan yeast like @aangel said. Next time I brew my Citra RyaPA I plan to use Conan yeast, I mean "Vermont Ale Yeast."

3 Floyds makes one of the best-rated Citra APAs (zombie dust, if you didn't already know) in the world and their house yeast is WY1968. Maybe give that a whirl? I've got my first batch going using this yeast but I went with Amarillo and Centennial for the hops.

So this isn't even on the wyeast website yet, but i have a batch of ipa with mostly nelson sauvin and columbus to bitter with this yeast. Its wyeast 1217 west coast ipa. Its still fermenting so i cant tell you my own experiences with it yet, but it could be something to look at

I also like 1272 at about 66-68.
