Poured from bottle into tulip, good 2+ finger cream colored head, good retention and lacing. Bright golden in the glass, slight haze going on. Smells of grapefruit and ripe pineapple. Taste follows the nose, good grapefruit punch up front, pineapple and sweet malt. Finish is a tad on the higher side on bitterness, but works well here. Residual candied grapefruit and grapefruit pith remains on the palate, weird but it works.
