Lots of grapefruit on the nose but nothing else comes through. Has the appearance of a carbonated orange drink. Flavour is grapefruit juice and only grapefruit juice. Mouthfeel is full enough. It's drinkable but has no IPA character to speak of.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy darkish orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of pithy grapefruit, though it smells closer to orange juice. Flavour brings out lots of fresh pulpy and pithy grapefruit without being too bitter. Man is this refreshing. Fresh, flavourful and thirst-quenching. This rivals Parallel's 49 for best local radler.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color with frothy head. The aroma shows delicate notes of grapefruit. Medium-dry, good base beer, but here the typical grapefruit bitterness plays an excellent role, even more than it’s fruity or acidic touch.
Very nice and refreshing.
