Canned 8/21/17
Pours a large creamy fluffy 2 finger head that fades slowly, nice sticky lacing, very clear yellow pilsner color.
Nose big floral grassy hops, grapefruit, grapefruit rind and some pith, touch of pine sap resin.
Taste brings a little sweet malt but thin malt, lots of hops, grassy a little flowery floral, plenty of grapefruit pith and rind, a little citrusy but not orange at all, lots of zest, bitter rind and pith mostly, a little pine sap.
Mouth is thinner, decent fluffy carb
Overall meh, not much base of this beer, too light and thin, hops are meh, grapefruit is just overpowering without being powerful somehow.

From the one pint can dated 8/21/17. Sampled on September 12, 2017.
It pours a yellow-light amber tone with a modest white head that leaves a touch of lacing as it fades.
The aroma does bring out a sweet and grapefruit character and a citrus zest hovering over the white bread malt base.
The body is light to medium. However I get some acidity.
The grapefruit mingles with a sweet, juicy, citrus character in the taste. It felt clean and crisp. There was a notable dry and fruity bitterness to top it off at the end. I enjoyed it but may not go for it a second time.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-murky to somewhat hazy pale copper color with a finger's worth of sustaining white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. The head stiffened and concaved slightly. Lace seemed fairly nice as it clung in a filmy manner around the sides of the glass.
The aroma had some grapefruit rind bitterness, somewhat grassy with a graspingly dry hop spice playing with a light smooth clean cracker malt backbone.
The flavor was moderately sweet with a sturdy dry bitter hoppiness rolling in for an adequate representation of it in the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was almost medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good for the most part. Semi-dry crisp grapefruit rind-like finish.
Overall, it's pretty solid for the most part, I'd have again.
