Shake-O-Matic - Grapefruit IPA
Junkyard Brewing Company

 

 

 

Grapefruit colored pour, big head that lasts and laces great. Aroma is a punch of grapefruit. Notes of grapefruit juice, light vanilla and citrus purée. Soft, creamy and lightly dry. Very nice and strong grapefruit influenced IPA.

 

This beer pours a hazy gold with a solid head. The aroma features grapefruit peel, vanilla, and a vague tropical flavor. The flavor is smooth and creamy, with vanilla, tangy grapefruit, tangerine peel, apple skin, all blending in a soft, mellow flavor. The mouthfeel is soft and pillowy with fluffy carbonation. Overall this beer has a nice combo of sharp and smooth flavors.

On tap into a snifter, pours a very thick murky brown orange yellow, with a thin crown of white head with minimal retention and lacing. Nose is dominated by fresh squeezed grapefruit a little vanilla, and that's about all I get. It is fresh and tasty, with a little more depth on the tongue than the nose, and the feel is nice, with a little zing at the end. I find the entire sub-genre a little odd, but this is well made.

 

 

 

Pours a murky golden copper color with a thick white head and streaking lacing. Smell is citrus white wine and grapefruit. Taste follows nose the citrus is very sweet no rind taste at all, hint of white wine and pear more grapefruit and some sweet malts. Very smooth mouth feel with very little bitterness. Loved this IPA
