Dogfish Head Launched the New Citrus Squall, Featuring 8% ABV
Recently, Dogfish Head launched a brand new beer that takes inspiration from the refreshing notes of the Paloma cocktail. For those who might not be familiar, a classic Paloma consists of tequila or mezcal, club soda, fresh lime, and grapefruit juices, and a grapefruit wedge. By the description, one may guess that the Paloma is very refreshing and a perfect drink for the warmer months. Dogfish Head takes this as a starting point for its Citrus Squall, describing it as "the perfect storm of a double golden ale brewed with grapefruit juice, lime peels, agave, and sea salt that delivers strong gusts of citrusy hops."
Dogfish Head's Paloma-inspired Citrus Squall is expected to hit shelves by early spring.
