American IPAs are known for their citrusy hop punch, but we cranked up the juice on this one! Brewed with grapefruit and a mysterious hop code named “Experimental Grapefruit”, this IPA is a serious citrus bomb. Lively and bright, bracingly bitter, and eminently refreshing, you’ll wish it grew on trees!

Poured from the tap. Clear copper orange with small white head. Grapefruit hops and then a wash of dry floral herbal notes that really wreck the palate.

Very clear golden and peach coloured body with a bit of a copper glow and a thinnish, pure white head. Aroma of very bitter grapefruit peel, some citrus and pepper notes with a minor scent of skunk and some subtle malts, with some noticeable malts towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Very deep and bitter grapefruit rind is noticeable up front that gives it a lot of bitterness and some soft sweetness, but the light hops come through and so do the mellow malts which give this a nice balance. Aftertaste shows some rich grapefruit and bitter hops with a lot of sweetness and some light caramelised sugar notes, but the malt provides a good balance. Overall, this is a very nice and refreshing beer that has a great note of grapefruit and some smooth sugars and malts, but hits the marks nicely. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Bend, Oregon on 29-March-2021 for US$3,49 sampled in my cabin here in Crater Lake, Oregon on 29-March-2021, just two days later with my family while visiting the National Park.

355ml can from Taylor's Gluten Free Beer Network. Gluten Free. Orangey amber gold colour, off-white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of grapefruity citrus, hoppy. Taste is malt caramel, citrusy, grapefruit, tangy, alittle pine and hop resiny bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable, good for gluten free.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head with little retention recedes to nothing. Grapefruit pith aromas. Soft with sour caramel and bitter grapefruit front to back and into the lasting pith and peel finish.

On Tap Clear deep orange light amber with a thin off white head. Lots of citrus peel zest type of flavors and bitterness. Long lingering acidic pithy burn. Thats about it

Can from Main Market. Haxy, murky golden, frothy head fades fast. Aroma has hints of grapefruit, malty, earthy. Taste is citrus, dry, grassy hops, resin , bitter. Not one over the other, just a big mess.

Can from High Point, Vancouver
Light amber color. The can is 5 months old, the nose is not expressive, the flavour is heavy, grainy, typical of gluten-free beers, but quite good; the bitterness in the final is a bit vegetable, grapefruit peel.
Quite nice.

Small can at Alex's. 2017-09-15. Pours a bit hazy golden with a weak white head. Aroma is citrusy. Similar taste, quite crispy. Piney bitterness aftertaste. Good old-school IPA.
