We love IPAs just as much as anyone, and we especially love dank, citrus-packed hop bombs. We’ve brewed a lot of them in the past few years, but we were always left wanting a bigger citrus punch. So, one summer day, we took a page out of the recipe book of our flagship beer Blood Orange Wit, and decided to add fresh citrus to the brew. We wrangled up the brew crew once again and took a trip to our local Temecula citrus farms to pick some grapefruit. The result is what we have here; a bitter, hoppy IPA infused with real grapefruit juice, fresh squeezed by yours truly!

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent light gold with a white head. Aroma does seem to be grapefruit. Med body or so. Flavor is light slightly toasty caramel with citrus and arguably grapefruit, maybe even zest. It’s nice, it’s dry, it’s bitter, it’s "spicy/zesty", but I’d like grapefruit juice, let alone rind. All that bitchin’ aside, it’s bitter! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can, nice looking label. Pours hazy orange, medium creamy beige head, dissipates fairly slowly, good lacing. Aroma is pine, cat piss, grapefruit, floral. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, juicy with some grapefruit, fresh cut grass, floral and pine notes. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, lingering bitterness.
