This grapefruit zest-infused IPA is charged with freshly peeled fruit juciness. Zesty pith notes mingle in perfect union with bright citrus hop character. Peel back the sunshine and enjoy some citrus paradise.

This hand-crafted brew pours a sunset golden colour with a pillow white head. Freshly peeled grapefruit sparkles off the nose, with crisp citrus flavours set against a backdrop of fruit-forward hops. Finishes clean.

Okay clear light gold body with what appears to be a pinkish hue. Little head. Sweet sugary grapefruit on the nose. Flavour is big sugary fake grapefruit, some hops, soft grains. Very sugar bomb-ish thing, I'm not a fan of candy beers.

Tap at Mash, Bangkok. Poured a slightly hazy copper colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is tropical fruit citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a fresh crisp, malt, light toffee, sweet citrus fruit, light tart grapefruit, light dry woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Big and fruity. Quite refreshing!

355ml can. Pours a hazy orange-gold with tiny particles in suspension and a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, orange pith and pale malt. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, grapefruit pith, orange peel and caramel with a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Simple. A total grapefruit bomb, but ok.

Slight haze, thin head, nice golden-amber colour. Very bright, aromatic grapefruit nose. Same on the palate - powerful, natural grapefruity, orangey taste, lots of bitterness, biscuity pale malt base. Don’t know about "best", but it’s one of the more enjoyable Phillips beers of late.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Cloudy amber color. Weird aroma, it smells like artificial grapefruit candies from the 80’s. Good body strength, mild residual sweetness, toffee flavor, strong grapefruit peel flavor, and related bitterness.
Excessively skewed. I’m not sure it’s really pleasant.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is absolutely loaded with citrus juice, with floral hops and pleasant sweetness. Flavour follows accordingly, with a shit ton of citrus dominating upfront, followed by a blast of floral, perfumey hops, and ample residual sweetness. Sweet and citric on the finish. Very nice.

Can - Bright breakfast grapefruit, very juice like. Clear gold with a rich off white head. Bright sweet and bitter grapefruit peel with a sweet sticky finish. Tastes like juice with not enough balance. Sweet and bitter.
