12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2. Hazy dark orange, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit zest, lime,pale malt. The taste is orange, grapefruit, caramel. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. Simple but well done.

IPA is not my favorite style, but this works because the sweeter amber malt balances the hops flavor and the grapefruit flavor is a good addition for a different type of bitter taste and aroma.

Draft Taproom (Charlottesville). Lovely sweet grapefruit aroma: juice, pulp, almost floral. Flavor is outstanding too! Juicy grapefruit (lots of it), bitter but juicy. Quite tasty!

On tap at Spacebar, pours a dark orange with some soapy, white head. Nose is not real appealing, muddled orange and grapefruit, some butterscotch and malt. Flavor steps further down, flabby malt, cheap OJ, soap. Harsh finish, overly bitter. Just not well done.
