8th of 8 varieties out of an island variety pack. Nice gift. Pour is slight haze on lemony pale. Nose is certainly grapefruit. First taste is a tad bitter grapefruit medicine. Must say, this was the least liked out of 8. Has a sort of mild IPA hop attitude from the grapefruit, can't appreciate that. Towards the middle, I kinda get a little more used to it. Could use a tad more carbonation. Yea, that grapefruit remains somewhat annoying, yet its never artificial. I guess that's a bonus. They say the pomelo is pink inside but this does not taste like sweet pink, its more like your typical regular yellow bitter, with the grapefruit rinds and pulp included. It finishes with an almost bitter blood orange character. There, you have it.
