Look: pale orange pink with a head that quicky disappears
Smell: I get the grapefruit and citrus, also a bit of wheat and specifically fermented wheat as it is being poured.
Taste: Belgium sugar with a grapefruit find flavor that leads into a grapefruit fruit flavor, little bit of wheat on the back end, faintly tart as it finishes. Got some sweetness in there too.
Feel: light feel with a crisp pop of tang/sourness.
Overall: pretty mild flavors that transition well into each other, but like I said, mild. Probably would be very nice if very cold on a hot summer day. Mine has a small, but noticable yucky yeast flavor that doesnt ruin it, but definitely takes away. Pretty decent.

I'm not much for shandies, but I tried this one and it was decent enough. It was a bit sweeter than I expected, since grapefruits are usually a bit more tart. Definitely more like a grapefruit soda than anything, so if that's what they were going for, I think they got it. Very limited frame of reference for me on this style though, so take that into consideration.

12 oz can, canned 6/18/19. Pours hazy orange gold with a fizzy white head that quickly goes to a thin collar that leaves little lacing.
The aroma is grapefruit with some malt.
The flavor is sweet grapefruit with a little bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, an OK sweet grapefruit juice beer.

Aroma is grapefruit and very grainy malts/almost wheat. The flavor is grapefruit, malts, fruit, oily/slightly gritty and a mildly sweet soda/somewhat tart finish.

12oz can into a pint glass. Canned 5/8/19, so coming up on 4 months old.
Cloudy, dull pale watery orange body. Small white head quickly dissipates to only a ring, hence no lacing.
Very faint grapefruit aroma
It's an interesting tasting beer. Light, refreshing, and all flavors are delicate or muted. The flavors washing over the tongue go from faintly tart to faintly grapefruit to faintly sweet, making for a nice progression
Mouth medium and a little tingly. Final finish is a touch sweet.
Overall, nice beer on a hot late summer day. I imagine it would seem weak and watery in the middle of winter.

On tap. Poured out a clear, straw yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of grapefruit and lemon. Sweet caramel taste with a tart grapefruit punch.
