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.

355 ml can, as New Belgium Citradelic Tangerine IPA, from Vinmonopolet Verksgt., Stavanger. Also available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6%. Deep golden to orange colour, large white head. Strong and pleasant aroma of tangerine and fruity hops. Fairly sweet flavour with fruity / citrussy notes, also hints of pine needles.

Clear, bright orange/amber hue, tangerine-y, for sure. Slim white head.

Citrus-y hop notes bust out of the nose. Bright and fruity, nice and bitter.

In the mouth: dry, bitter, and juicy all in and / or around the same time. Light bodied, easy going down, long-lasting bitterness. It's a good ol', no-fuss, good-drinkin' IPA. Good beer, you can drink it. That is all.

Calling this an IPA is a stretch. More of a pale ale taste as it's not bitter at all. It's a nice summer beer tho. Could use more tangerine tho. enjoy the carbonation.

L: Clear amber. Low carbonation. Color doesn't seem quite right.

S: Lots of tangerine, juice and peel.

T: Barely any hops. The tangerine masks most of the flavor. The hops are a touch earthy. A bit herbal, and spicy. Tastes okay if you enjoy tangerine.

F: Clean finish. Light flavor.

O: I feel like I'd rather squeeze tangerine juice into a real IPA.

12oz can a friend left at the house

Nothing special about how it looks, but New Belgium beers always look great so I kinda take it for granted. It smells like orange peel, almost artificial how juicy and in-your-face the orange seems. The hops add some funk to the background of the scent. It tastes okay, the orange in the nose is muted but very much there, otherwise it's thin on flavor and character

Much better aromatics than actual taste. My burps taste better than the beer! If that doesn't tell you something's wrong..

Clear bright gold with a fluffy head. Lots of rising bubbles. Tangerine smell, taste of tangerine (or orange) peel, mild hops, fresh and bright feel, very perfect for summer time.

A nice tangy IPA. A good summer beer with some punch.
