12 oz. can purchased in Frisco, Colorado. Pours an opaque dark brown color with a tiny tan head and fair retention. Only a tiny bit of lacing. Vanilla bean aroma. Has a very dark roasted flavor balanced with sweet vanilla bean notes and a short finish. Low carbonation. Medium body. Smooth and clean. Really good.

12 oz. can purchased in Frisco, Colorado. Pours a clear pale yellow color with virtually no head. No lacing. Grainy aroma. Very light grainy pale malt flavor with a faint lemony finish. Light body. Soft mouthfeel. Tastes like a Caribbean pale lager. Enjoyable, but not much of a Golden.

12 oz. can purchased in Frisco, Colorado. Pours a clear copper color with a tiny beige head and poor retention. No lacing. Caramel aroma. Stronger caramel flavor than the nose. Super short finish. Flat body and mouthfeel, but it works. Not harsh like a lot of ambers. Both the 5.8 ABV and the 49 IBU are well hidden.

Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2018, hosted by Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp. Nice brown / red-brown / dark red-brown color, small to average sized beige head. Aroma is malts, a hint of raisins even though it's not really raisins I think, more caramel and caramelised sugars. Taste malts, caramel, dark fruit hints, quite sweet, sweet ripe fruits. Nice, but close to being over the top sweet. Very solid though.

22oz bottle at share, 2015 vintage. Dark brown pour, rich nutty aroma, some bourbon notes. Taste is velvety smooth, sweet and nutty, and boozy too. It all comes together nicely, and some aging has made this a bit better.

Sample from a 2016 bottle. Pours a clear, dark orange, with a medium, fizzy, tan head. The aroma is molasses, cinnamon, apple, pine, and raisins. Sweet and lightly bitter. Medium to heavy body, with an effervescent, grainy, and sugary mouthfeel. This is an enjoyable, balanced, and delicious beer. Nice!

Can came from Wasatch. Thanks John!

Pours hazy orange yellow, great head of foam, fairly good lacing.

Massive nose of grapefruit(it's part of the name!), pine, cracker malt.

Juicy grapefruit taste, almost expected some pulp. Pine is present, cracker malt takes some work to pull out.

Mouthfeel is fine, alcohol is noticeable after the very first sip; I can deal with that.

Very good offering from the gang at Dry Dock.

Bomber via trade. Cuivré voire acajou, col beige. Arôme est plein de barrique, whisky et vanille avec un petite rétro fruité rouge et note fine de malts arrivant en rétro-nasal, note aussi un petit effet oxydé dû à l'âge de la bouteille; Palais est malté, caramel, fruits secs rappelant le raisin, le pruneau avec un complément de vanille, boisé de chêne américain procurant cette fine douceur et effet plaisant de whisky.
