Can pours clear gold with thin white head and lively carbonation. Aroma and flavor of sweet grapefruit, juicy mouthfeel with lingering grapefruit tang. Very nice IPA.

On tap in Orlando after a late night at the theater. Clear, amber, frothy pour. Grapefruit, baby powder, slight sulfur nose. Lots of obvious grapefruit, pithy ruby red, super intense back-sweetened pith. Thin, irritating, crispy, Negroni juicy, super lingering. Can barely taste any malt. Sort of infatuated by it.

From a can I got at total wine. Nose is hop perfume. Clear and ever so slightly pale ale. Taste is big bold bitterly influenced IPA fer sher all the way. Perhaps there is some green grapefruit rinds in there? Just asking. Now I'm getting this ever so sharp rude uncivilized nasty-ness coming up from the back. In the middle, its almost more than I can take. It ends with a green grapefruit peel finish that is trying to rot and ferment. There, you have it. Mouthcoating beer tasting experience.

12 oz can at Marlows Pub, Orlando. Somewhat cloudy golden orange appearance. Described by the staff as having a slight grapefruit finish. Understatement of the century. As grapefruit as a beer can get. Juicy, bold, ruby red. Grapefruit front and finish. Has a bite, but is quite refreshing. Oberpowering, but if grapefruit is your jam, this might just be your perfect beer.

Pretty well done for grapefruit IPA. Bitterness works really fluidly together with IPA elements. Some peel in there too. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter end. Nice beer. Can.

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and very good retention. Minor lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and hops. The flavor follows the nose. Strong juicy grapefruit and hops flavor. Biting bitterness but juicy enough to keep it interesting.
