Pours a light golden straw colour, this brew is crafted with a blend of wheat, house-malted barley, lactobacillus, grapefruit and lime juice. The citrus grapefruit notes dance upfront before finishing refreshingly tart.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold-yellow with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Tart aroma of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit and lacto. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit and lacto in a dry, tart lime finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Juicy, refreshing, easy to drink and tasty.

Cloudy blond colour, murky, almost no head. The aroma of grapefruit reminds me of candy (artificial), but there is also some nice lactic acid aroma. The mouthfeel is sharp and dry, the lactic acid character is strong, some grapefruit, very light yeast.
Refreshing.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is full of bright, fresh grapefruit upfront, with a touch of lacto. Flavour delivers a monolothic pucker of tart grapefruit, with a fair bit of lacto detectable underneath. Simple, but pleasant citrusy beer. Surprisingly solid.

Intense bright grapefruit. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Soured grapefruit and some soft grains. Smells right but falls down a bit in the taste.

Golden colour. Lots of grapefruit on the nose - pretty assertive. On the palate, mild tartness, lots of grapefruit. On the sweet side, but it's a nice flavour so it comes across as balanced. Fairly light body. Arguably, this is made for people who don't like beer that much, I mean it's close to being a radler, but it's also tasty if you like grapefruit.
