# Paloma-Inspired Beers Dogfish Head Launched the New Citrus Squall, Featuring 8% ABV By Kalin Ned | Published 2023-03-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogfish-head References: [dogfish](https://www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer/citrus-squall)  Recently, [Dogfish Head](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-lime-tequila-margarita) launched a brand new beer that takes inspiration from the refreshing notes of the [Paloma](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-azul-grapefruit-tequila-soda) 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.
