Starts with a nice juicy burst but quickly devolves into over-hopped off flavors, offering up strong chive and vegetal notes equal to the grapefruit and stone fruits you want. Wet malt undertones add funky sweetness, while the mineral bitterness on the back end seems too aggressive for the style. Growing hop burn doesn't help matters, ultimately proving too astringent to finish the pint. Rough.
