What a novel concept for a beer. Take a natural beer ingredient taste (hops) and market it as an additive. Can't tell whether it's the casade hops or the actual grapefruit additive making its prescense known in the taste. Clear golden filtered color, has some happiness poking through with a clean finish. Descent fruit ipa beer especially if you are partial to the grapefruit.

Pours a semi-clear, deep gold producing 2 fingers of frothy, somewhat lasting, white head that leaves blotches & motes of lace. Aroma is an unbalanced mix of grapefruit pith & juice, some lime zest, a hint of tropical fruit & thin pine with a malt profile that I would call some caramel & a hint of roast. Taste is only a slightly more balanced mix of grapefruit juice, pith & zest, lime zest & a little pine with the caramel malt trailing behind. Finishes thin & bitter with notes of lime but transitioning to a lessening bitter, lime/grapefruit zest/juice & slightly astringent aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, moderate carbonation, slightly biting, a little prickly & somewhat drawing on the sides of the tongue.

Tried this beer 2 years ago loved it!!!! So much that we bought the last 3 cases our distributor had last fall...Just enough of a grapefruit fruit flavor mixed with a wheat beer that the grapefruit wasn't overpowering....fruity aroma .. Very refreshing nice Amber color... My only disappointment was the availability.... Would love to be able to enjoy one on a warm summer evening!!!! REFRESHING!!!

Somewhat grapefruit flavor but hard to tell. Not too hoppy or anything else really. I'd drink it again if given to me, but certainly not going out of my way to do this again.

There is a place in God's creation for Grapefruit beer. In fact, I think the "Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Weizen-Mix" is an amazingly good example. And this Abita IPA started off with a promisingly good look and aroma …but… Bleck! This beer manages to have all the bitterness of Grapefruit without any of the flavor.

My first reaction to this was, "EHHHH!" It tasted like an unbalanced bitter IPA with the added bitterness of grapefruit rind. My next thought was, "Crap I have 5 more bottles of this to drink."
After having a couple more bottles, it's grown on me. It's refreshing and clean with a nice grapefruit aroma. Maybe it just took me getting over the initial shock. I won't go buy more of this, but I wouldn't turn one down if offered to me.
Disclaimer: I generally like Abita beers. My parents live in Abita Springs and I'm inclined to support the brewery.

pours like grapefruit juice. smells weak grapefruit. taste follows nose. as the beer warms it gets worse. kind of malty mess with spoiled grapefruit. this beer is dRinkable but tough to finish full glass. abita is always less than average. this beer is no different.
