An IPA with a citrus kick, Virmalised GF uses a blend of hops and fresh grapefruit.

Taste: Sweet fresh citrus mixes with a refreshing acidity before more citrus joins the party, intertwining with a sweet biscuity malt character. A hoppy freshness comes in after the initial citrus kick, reminding of classic Virmalised flavours, before finishing off with more zesty grapefruit .

TNOD(U)RBSG16. Hazy amber, white froth. Piney, slightly caramely aroma. Similar flavour, not particularly grapefruity... Bitterness gets quite rough in an unpleasant way.
