Tangerine IPA
Tune in and hop out with New Belgium Citradelic. Set adrift on a kaleidoscopic wave of hoppiness brought to you by a mystical marriage of Citra hops and tangerine peel, which elevates each sip onto a plane of pure tropical, fruity pleasure. Citradelic’s namesake hop and fruit combine to jam with visions of additional hops like citrusy Mandarina Bavaria, tropical Azzaca, and fruity Galaxy for a colorful explosion that’s grounded by just a touch of malty sweetness. Bored by the status quo? Expand your palate with a pour of Citradelic.

Bottle at TopGolf Austin. Clear dark amber under a small short lived white head leaving patchy lace. Nose is light caramel with some bright citrus and tropical fruit. Lightly sweet with a medium citrus bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. 7/3+/7/3/13+

Enjoyed in Vermont for Easter 2017. Clean golden colour with a warm, almost creamy head, very long lasting and creamy lace. Citrus aromas of orange peel. Not crazy dry. Decent bitterness, but again, not too wild. Lots of the tangerine juices. Very nice overall less punchy, well-blended IPA.

Pours an amber from a tap, quickly dissipating head, with some lacing. Unassuming aroma turns into an orange lollipop flavor. Good beer, very sweet not much else beyond the intense fruit flavor, if you're into that.

On tap at McGillicuddy’s, Five Corners, Essex Junction, VT.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-dark copper color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white foamy head that dissipated at a moderate pace. Light lace.
The aroma had some super sweet tangerine pulp up front then some citrus and herbal quality underneath.
The flavor had some bitterness backing up the sweet tangerine pulp hitting the citrus and herbal sweetness. Light candy taste. Once again, another New Belgium beer wanting to separate in this taste. Leans towards the sweet side in the aftertaste and flowing right on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, in a world full of AIPA’s, this one leans towards a candy sweetness that I think many would not like. Me, I didn’t mind it, but well, hmmmmm...just really hard to want to come back to.
