Bottle from Dollar Tree. Pours hazy grapefruit juice color with a foamy/creamy white head. The aroma is more like canned grapefruit juice (meh) than fresh. Not sure I get rubyiness at all. Med body or so. Pretty dry. Citrus bitter. There's grapefruit flavor, but there's something I do not enjoy that gets in the way. Leave an unpleasant flavor in my mouth. Not a fan.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky gold color with a large foamy orange-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was dry, musty and chalky with a grapefruit soda presence. The flavor was tart, chalky and yeasty with grapefruit soda. Medium length finish. Medium body.

12 ounce bottle from the brewery, 9/1/16. Hazy yellow, large foamy white head, decent retention. Aroma of grapefruit juice and pale malt. The taste is canned grapefruit and pale malt. Thin. 12.5K

Can. Heavy grapefruit aroma, possibly some BO in the nose. Looks like any other pale ale or lager except for its big rocky head. Tasted at a little less than room temp. Fist taste is really pushing the grapefruit flavors. Not sure what to think, not quite as refreshing as many radlers. Perhaps it gets a little more acceptable towards the end.

Draft at Sprecher’s in the Dells. Grapefruit and chocolate malt aroma. Dark brown with small head. Very sweet grapefruit juice and chocolate malt flavor. Decent body. Obviously this isn’t the same beer as everyone else has rated - my guess would be that they used their Black Bavarian to make this version but cannot confirm this at this point.
