So who else thinks cirta hops are the most over rated thing out there ATM

Over-used, maybe. Overrated, NO. Probably the best and most easy to use hop for an IPA.

eh, give me simco, nugget and chinook over citra any day

Hops to me are like people, each with their own personalities and things they are good at and things they are not.

I haven't had more than three beers with citra, but I haven't liked any of them.

They are over used, and I for one am guilty of thinking that any beer I make with the will be delicious, but they're not all winners. I still like my cascade, centennial and Amarillo. But citra used correctly is a fantastic hop.

It's ironic that you have chosen the 3 hops most homebrewers and pro brewers make terrible beers with. I have had a couple great ones, but many bad ones with these 3.

I think they all have the potential to be wonderful, it's the brewer.

Jeez. Why you gotta pick on poor lil citra?
Perhaps a visit to the feelings calendar is in order.
I can live without them, but that's me. Centennial, EKG, NB, and Fuggles are hops that I couldn't do without. Just try not to mix em all in one beer.
Hmmmm, maybe I'll do just that. And I'll punish my citra by letting him watch the others go swimming.
