The tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements this full-flavored beer’s bright citrus hop character, while its sessionable body brings you back for more.

Bottle: Cloudy amber with a thin, off-white head. Slightly bready grapefruit aroma. Taste is flat caramel malt, grapefruit. A bit oxidized and earthy. Probably pretty good when fresh.....(a sample I forgot about for a while....my bad....)

12 oz bottle from a random Food Lion. A nice, clear, golden amber with a froth of foamy beige head and lots of lace. Light grapefruit aroma on some pale malt and light citrus hops. Hints of grass. Soft bitterness, lightly dry. Clean and enjoyable. Very easy drinking with it's soft carbonation. Pretty, pretty good.

Slightly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of bright hops with a little bitterness and a touch of grass - fairly mild in the nose though. Light-bodied; Strong bright hop elements with the bitterness and citrus flavours coming through, but little else after that, with some grain and grass as well. Aftertaste shows a ligthly bittered, mild beer with some herbal, grassy and citrusey flavours that shows well near the end. Overall, a decent Light IPA with a citrusey and grassy finish that shows off the hops relatively nicely. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Gainesville, Virginia on 14-May-2016 for US$2,12 sampled at home in Washington on 26-October-2016.

Slightly hazy amber body with a fleeting, mostly white head. The aroma is light dusty sweet malt. The flavor is well balanced. Light on the hops, light on the malt. No grapefruit either in the aroma of flavor.
