Tap at Gambrinus. Pours a deep gold with a finger of white foam. Huge ruby red grapefruit pith nose. Lots of pith in this one. Sharp grapefruit juice notes with hoppy bitterness juicy tartness. Dry finish. I like it. --- Beer merged from original tick of Surrealist IPA on 06 Dec 2016 at 23:50 - Score: 7. Original review text: Huge ruby red grapefruit pith nose. Lots of pith in this one.

Keg at the brewery druing RBWG Booze Buseday 20/02/15. Hazed orange amber topped with moderate off white spotting. Nose is citric peel, bitter orange, spice, straw, light pine, tarte lemon. Taste comprises earthy hops, caramel, bitter orange, pissy citrics, tarte mandarin, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so, doesn’t bring out the best of either an IPA or a sour, a bit wishy washy and directionless.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a nice murky copper body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up grapefruit and tangelo and pineapple with a bit of malt sweetened lime in the background. The taste delivers bracing punchy bitterness from grapefruit, lime, tangelo and a slender lemon acidic note. To midway the bitter tartness grows and develops a faint vinegar sensation. A bit too tart and bitter today, maybe tomorrow.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange with no head. The aroma is tropical fruit, dough, and melon. Thin mouth with nice tropical fruit, light tartness, very good.

Draft at the brewery during RBWG 2015. Pours cloudy gold with minimal head. The aroma holds melon, funky grapefruit. Medium sweet flavor, juicy and tangy, with some sweat, lemon. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Tart finish with notes of peach, grapefruit and melon. Very taty.

Draft - Phenolic and odd. Cloudy orange with no head. Herbal, medicinal and off again. Either a bad beer or mislabeled and still bad.

Pint pour at Point Ybel Brewing Company - guest tap. Poured a nice slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was light tart notes, touch of floral hops. Flavor was nice hops, some funk, and nice sour notes. Pretty enjoyable. Girlfriend was a big fan of this one too.

A golden amber ale with a very thin off white head. In aroma, very nice mix of biscuit malt, catty floral hops, light lactic points and Brett. In mouth, a surprisingly good sour ipa with light cherry notes, floral hops, light Brett, woody notes, excellent. On tap at brewery.

Sampled @ Hunahpu Day 2014. Pours hazy burnt orange color with off white head. Aromas of citrus and sourness. Sour lemon and tart grapefruit flavors with some caramel. Weird stuff.
