Citradelic Tangerine IPA
I posted a few reviews last year bemoaning the trend toward labelling everything an IPA. It's a great example of branding: IPAs are popular, so call everything an IPA. Citradelic is only at 50 IBUs, so maybe just a strong pale ale. Nonetheless, this is a pretty tasty brew. Pouring an orange-amber with a three-finger head that quickly subsides to a lacy white foam, the scent of tangerine is there, but not overpowering, which you so often get with these fruity beers. There is also an obvious pineapple contribution to the mix, as well as some lemon and orange. Solid ale, but like a lot of what I'm seeing this season, could be better seen as a summer ale, rather than a cold-weather offering.
