12 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small off-white head and good retention. Good lacing. Citrus aroma. Light grapefruit and citrus flavor with light hops bitterness. As advertised, it's an easy drinking grapefruit ale. More fruit beer than golden ale. Summer beer. Refreshing.

A little disappointing. Much closer to Shandy than expected. What did I expect? Something like a grapefruity pale ale, light, hoppy, with some grapefruit notes. But this was pushing very close to grapefruit juice in mouthfeel, plus that sharp dry (low sweetness) acidity you get in grapefruit juice, with just a touch of pale malts, minimal bitterness. Not excited to drink this whole 6 pack. Golden, minimal head, and very cloudy.
