Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: orangey/copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely and left some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity to orangey hop tones with a touch of pine and lemon; light malty tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes grapefruity with a touch of lemon
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a light dryness on the tongue
Overall: nice enough session IPA, I see why they call this "Effortless" - makes sense.

Can from Beer Republic. Lots of grapefruit candy with fruity hops, orange, touch of pine, more grapefruit. Flavour is medium bitter with low sweetness. Light to medium body. Heavy on the artificial grapefruit, some pine and hoppy notes to make things a bit more interesting.

Canned (from Systembolaget, Umeå). Orangeish amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, biscuity and nicely fruity. Very pleasant and fresh actually. Flavour is fruity, floral, some grassy and nicely nutty and slightly toasted notes. Very fresh and easy going Session mango/apricot beer.

(Can) Hazy pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of grapefruit (grape tonic), mango, pineapple and honey. Fruity taste with grapefruit, some mango, pineapple, pine needles, honey, toffee and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing, but doesn't really lift above the grapefruit. Quite enjoyable.

Can from Beer 52. Well, I can get the nose of this one even from arms length ! Very powerful grapefruit aroma. Pours a clear golden orange with a small transient white head. Initial taste gives an overwhelming hop-centric bitterness. Subsequent sips / swigs give more of a juicy texture with grapefuit to the fore. Finish is dry and sweet. A lot nicer than I expected it would be.

Thin off white head left a spotty cover on an unclear amber body. Sweet melon aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a full back. Grapefruit, melon, sweet, confectionery & lightly hopped tastes with a bitter pithy finish. Standard

355ml can, via Beer52; BBE Sep 2021. Drank while 'doing' a BBQ on 18th Sep 2020. Light haze to the golden/amber body, fast fading white crown. Grapefruits rule both the nose and taste although there are other citrus fruit esters and flavours within this pleasant brew. Went well with Cumberland Sausages.
