A deliciously fruity citrus beer, full of hoppy goodness but moderate bitterness and freshly sqozen grapefruit, to accentuate the citrusy fantasticality.

Pours a foggy orange-copper with two fingers of white foam. Good head retention. Aroma is grapefruit - which is a huge note. Tangerine, dank, herbal, and pine hops pile in after and alongside grapefruit. Earthy and bready malts. Beyond the grapefruit note, it's quite sticky. Flavor profile is grapefruit! Dank, herbal, pine, grass, and lemon hops add more hop qualities with bready and earthy malts balancing those out a touch. Not super bitter, but more bitter than a typical NE IPA. Mouth feel is medium-thick in thickness. Texture is faintly creamy with a bit of fuzziness. Overall, big grapefruit, but otherwise an old school sticky IPA option.
Served in a shaker pint from a 12oz can. Reviewed from notes.

Slightly hazy amber color with a respectable and lasting white head and lacing.
The aroma is citrus and caramel malt.
The taste is a citrusy grapefruit flavor with a definite caramel malt backbone. The finish is dry with lingering citrus zest and pine.
The body is medium, pretty good carbonation level, moderate bitterness.
Altogether, this is a decent brew, fairly tasty and refreshing.
