A Vista Brewery's Signature Citrus IPA
Latitude 33 Brewing was founded in Vista, in northern San Diego County, in 2012 — close enough to Del Mesa that this is effectively a hometown beer — and the Blood Orange IPA is the beer that helped propel it to prominence. The brewery's own pitch is that blood orange stands above everyday citrus, so this is no typical citrus IPA: the entry is crisp, the blood orange lifts the Nelson and Citra hop fruit, and the finish stays balanced rather than sweet. Find the brewery's other cans on the Latitude 33 vendor page, or browse the full craft beer fridge.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Blood orange and citrus over tropical hop fruit. Palate: Crisp entry — citrus and tropical bitterness from the hop bill, the orange riding on top. Finish: Slightly sweet but balanced, never cloying.
How to Enjoy
Drink it cold and fresh — citrus IPAs are brewed for now, not for the cellar. It pairs the way a good San Diego County IPA should: fish tacos, carne asada fries, and anything off the grill.
