12 oz can from Boise Co-op. Bright golden with small soapy head. Aroma is more of the geapefruit flesh, while the taste is more grapefruit peel. Nice bitterness with citric fruity sweetness. Damn tasty.

L - Murky orange, unfiltered look, not too pale not too caramel. Blossoming foaming white head, comes back easily.
S - Lots of grapefruit, bitterness from the peel, slightly sweet and citrusy.
T - Like eating grapefruit and it's rind. Good bitterness
F - Bone dry, a bit too dry for the style, but even more dry than some of the driest saisons.
O - Solid beer, I think some dry hopping and slightly less dry finish would do a lot for it. As a grapefruit forward IPA, it's in the middle of the pack.

Picked up a bomber from Tempe BevMo in mid-April for $6.99. Bottled on 03/24/16. Refrigerated since purchase.
Beer poured golden with a nice white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose is fresh grapefruit which is coming out as the brew warms.
Taste is grapefruit forward with a nice citrus hop bite finish melded nicely over pale malt base.
Feel is light to medium bodied and lively on the palate.
Overall a pretty well brewed fruit infused brew that is worthy of a shot.

Better than Grapefruit Sculpin, and possibly the best store bought IPA. Also, we really like the 16oz cans, which my wife and I split so we can have a couple of different beers before we've had our fill, or just a strong 8oz for a light night of enjoying a craft brew.

Pretty good. Only issue is the overly bitterness up front
