Picked up a sample pack of four Brewdog Brews from Price Smart in Bogota´. C$45k pesos or about US$9 Came with a very cool glass. Popping the top on the can I get a waft of, wait for it, Pink Grapefruit and Hawaiian Punch.. Pours to a light brown with a yuuuge head that is steadfast. On the taste I get alot of Grapefruit up front in the throat, then a Hawaiian Punch middle, with a flatly bitter finish that still has Hawaiian Punch in the background. A different brew, very fruity and refreshing yet brings substantial bitterness. I would not classify it as an IPA even though the ABC is 6.5%. This is a quasi American Fruit Style Beer. I like it. Could I get the sam effect from 2/3 Steel 1/3 Hawaiian Punch? I might give it a whirl.

Wasn't that impressed with this one, but it's not bad either. Seems a little light on the body and not especially heavy on hops. Grapefruit is present but it's not in your face. Has an almost lager feel to ir. However, it's plenty drinkable in the end. Probably would be better characterized as a pale ale.

Big head. Smell is straight grapefruit juice, not really any beer. Taste is very grapefruit heavy, obviously, there’s also floral notes and a bready, caramel malt backbone. Feel is crisp, finish is on the dry side. Not bad.

Out of the can it is crystal clear dark gold. The head was about a finger and a half with some strong lace. Smelled like it's advertised as being grapefruit infused, but in a candied sense. Taste was honestly less appealing than the smell. Perhaps too malty floral tasting. Just didn't seem to match the expectations from my other senses.
