12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Oak Creek, 6/8/19. A meh brewery but trying to round out those state #s. This makes Louisiana #41. Hazy pale orange, thin creamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of strong grapefruit, some dank (smelled weed as soon as I opened this), pith. Taste is grapefruit, dandelion, pale malt. A bit of sweetness. Medium bodied, mild bitterness. Solid.

So, this bottle is NOT the old abita grapefruit beer! Looks a little hazy like unfiltered pale ale. Smells like decent grapefruit, and it tastes somewhat like grapefruit, a its little better than expected. Pretty good carbonation and it almost comes across with a grapefruit radler personality. Yes, just a little more sweet and tart and this would be a radler. BTW, it probably is, JMHO. Not bad! Quite refreshing after working and sweating on the old riding lawn mower!

Why is this a Winter release beer? Cloudy gold color with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Citrus nose. Taste follows the nose. Thin watery mouthfeel. Light body. Short acidic finish. Not their best effort. Okay summer sipper.

Whole grapefruit nose. Clear amber, thick head. Honey, lemongrass, grapefruit. Bready finish. Medium body, easy carbonation. Really quite nice.
