Having my first pint ( well 24oz for $5) new Belgium citradelic tangerine IPA.  Great aroma and taste...first impression is pretty tasty.

Sounds good. Don't have to ask about the main hop there !

Thought it was ok for the price. Way more tangerine taste than any hops IMO.

[HoosierBrew]

So it's tangerine flavored too, or just hops?

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. Launching January 2016.

If the tangerine peel were subtle and accented the Citra, Mandarina, Azacca and Galaxy, I'd buy it. I may try one anyway, if I can get it fresh.

Yeah tangerine peel is there but second fiddle to the hops IMO. It's worth a try. I'd order again.

And yeah, the tangerine reminds me of mandarina.

I like it. I thought the tangerine character melds well with the hop character but is not a primary component. It's a nice contrast to Ranger as another year round offering.

Yeah I think the tangerine comes from the mandarina...tastes just like that vs. peel.

Great hop combo. The tangerine peel makes perfect sense. I'll buy it. Can't buy the grapefruit IPAs which I hear (some) are good because of a medication I take. This sounds good.

I'll have to try it it. I saw it locally last week. $8.99 a six. New Belgium makes solid beers. Tough to beat Ranger as a classic IPA. I suspect this to be no worse than solid.

So when I read the name ..I expected Citra bomb. But it's not at all. Nice blend for sure.

I was very close to buying one of their gluten reduced beers tonight out of curiosity. I foresee drinking plenty of citradelic for years to come.
