Formerly Citrus IPA 2.0
Our Citrus Plunge IPA is fresh off the Blue Point innovation line. Loaded with orange blossom honey and fresh blood oranges, this crisp India pale ale packs a juicy punch. Our brewers hand-zested orange peel for an added sweetness that complements the blend of citrusy hops. Trust us – you’ll want to take the plunge with this brew.

This one looks pretty decent, hazy with a quickly receding white head. This has citrus bounding off the nose with some dank notes to boot. Leans to the sweet side and very one note citrus with some slight lingering bitterness on the end. Prickly carbonation helps this beer. I dunno, this is pretty decent I think.

Hazy gold beer from a can. Full white head with fish-eye bubbles and copious floaties. The aroma is of citrus peel....lemon, orange, grapefruit. Balance is slightly sweet, with a little hop bitterness and some malt undertones. Full body. Well made, but not terribly interesting.

Woof. I came here bc was curious of other reviews. Maybe I got a bad batch, but this tasted nothing like citrus or an IPA (which is my favorite kind of beer). It tasted like a meh lager. I am confused.

Good color but body is thin and so is the taste. I've had many better "juicy" IPA's.

Strong additions of honey and blood oranges should give this IPA a fruity, juicy quality, but in reality, this beer was straight up hop bitterness. Not in a bad way (I love my hop bite), but strong and a bit one-dimensional.

Poured into a 13 oz Nordic pint glass canned on 5/22/18. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a finger sticky white head, that leaves thin streaks of lace behind.
Smell is apricot, mango, passionfruit, and some grapefruit rind.
Taste follows apricot, mango, and a little grapefruit bitterness in the fairly balanced finish.
Mouthfeel is medium, plenty of life, maybe a touch dry, and at 6.5% very drinkable.
Overall I like how fresh it, the fact that the price at $9.99 for the 16 oz, and it is really a nice drinking beer. I don’t care who owns them personally, good beer at a reasonable price.
