A beer whose wort is mixed with real grapefruit puree to allow the sugar to ferment out, leaving the tropical aromas behind. This beer is a real crowd-pleaser. It’s perfect for any moment or meal, thanks to its bold grapefruit flavour, tart character and light hoppiness.

330ml bottle. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy to macropore, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity (hoppy) aroma, pale malty background, notes of grapefruit, some lemon. Taste is zesty bitter, citrusy fruity hoppy, pale malty basis without residual sweetness, notes of grapefruit, grapefruit peel, a touch of lemon, lots of zesty bitterness, minimally perfumed fruitiness.
Oily-watery texture, very dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Quite dry and bitter, minimally perfumed fruitiness - OK.

Bottle from Lekkerbier, St. Nicolaasga. Aroma is modest fruity hop with grapefruit, malt, some caramel and pine. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a fairly bitter finish. Body is medium. Lacks a distinct fruitiness, more like a malty APA. Decent.

330ml bottle. Pours a dull unclear gold, eager to leave the bottle, forming an overly large bubble bath foam head. Aroma of floral marigold and grapefruit. Flavour profile produces a relatively hoppy character, but seems past it's best, floral grapefruit is here but alongside a dirty bitterness. Quite gassy.

opalescent pale yellow colour, moderate sized dense snow-white head; aroma of pomelo, grpefruit, orange juice, some grassy-lemongrassy and maybe barnyard notes; taste has the same notes as can be felt in the aroma with quite definite hoppy-grapefruity bitterness; not bad at all

Fles gekregen van Kim en Sander. Het is een troebel oranje bruin bier met een volle witte schuimkraag welke snel weg ebt. Het heeft een hoppige en grapefruit achtige geur. De smaak is vol, bitter en grapefruit achtig.

Bottle on 5th February 2022 from La Belgique Gourmande, Brussels. Pours hazy coppery amber with heavy off-white foam. Spicy grapefruit zest in aroma. Tart grapefruit to the fore in-mouth with nuttiness in the background. Both flavour foci linger in a finish leaving the drinker wanting more. Full bodied with an engaging texture.
