To create a great refreshing fruit beer St. Peter's, Grapefruit used as the basis of wheat beer brewed at the brewery. Savory, juicy grapefruit tones are felt in the flavor and the taste of beer, blending in harmony and balance with notes of hops and malt. More: https://eng.winestyle.ru

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours clear gold with a scarce head. Aroma is huge grapefruit, very authentic, with some toasted malts poking through. The flavor is incredibly true, tasting very much like grapefruit. Quite bittersweet, like the fruit, with malty sugars and grass bitters. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. Finishes just like eating/drinking grapefruit, a little sticky, a little sweet, lots of rindy bitters, then some bready malts come in at the very end. If you like real grapefruit you should love this. Quite authentic.

Oohwhee I get to be no. 100 on this one. Anyway, bottle from Kuća Piva in Zagreb. POured a lovely clear dark amber body with a thick white head. Grapefruit nose mixed with sour bread and maltiness. Peppery notes and grapefruit-like bitterness come up front, with some sweet notes, malty, to back it up. Not bad overall, not particularly likable, but can’t say it’s bad by any means.

[500ml flask bottle from Beers of Europe; Dad shared with me (cheers!)] Pours pale amber with a negligible head. Now, I always have a problem with the minerality of St Peter’s beers, and this one has it in abundance up front; the pithy grapefruit bitterness seems to enhance it, giving a harsh start. Fortunately it mellows to reveal sweet juicy pink grapefruit, and at this point I was rather enjoying it. Unfortunately it was spoilt a little by some caramel and mint in the finish, which rather clashed with the grapefruit. Nevertheless, this is OK, and quite interesting.

Bottled 500ml. -Dark golden coloured, small white head that went away fast, some odd fruity nose. Moderate malty, bready and slight citric with literally minimal grapefruit presence. Nothing special here, in matter of fact quite lousy beer.

(bottle) Clear, deep golden to amber colour with a medium-sized off-white foamy head. Sweet and slightly dusty fruity aroma of grapefruits, a bit like bitter marmalade without annoying sweetness. Quite bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Predominant grapefruit flavours with a light wheat-character; dry fruit-accented and moderately bitter finish. One-dimensional but likeable as it is not too sweet (14.VII.09).

Gravity at Jerusalem Tavern, London
Hazy golden color. It’s a solid Ale, sweetish, with good hops (better than the total score of 30). The grapefruit seems a bit artificial, it reminds me grapefruit candies.

Thin white head. Light amber body. Aroma is grapefruit. Nothing else. Dry resiny grapefruit taste with straw and earth notes. Lightish body. Dry earthy intense grapefruit aftertaste. Nice, much better than expected. (0.5l bottle from KnutAlbert.)

500 ml bottle, as St. Peter’s Fruit Beer Grapefruit, bought at Vaaland Spesialbutikken, Bryne. ABV is 4.7%. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Strong and pleasant aroma of grapefruit, also moderate notes of malts and toffee. The flavour is zesty with plenty of grapefruit, also a distinct hoppy bitterness in the finish. I love notes of "grapefruit" in a beer when they are caused by American hops, but actually adding grapefruit flavouring to the beer might mean a bit too much of the good stuff. Still, this is a refreshing and very drinkable beer, which requires that you have a crush on grapefruit to be really enthusiastic about it.
