16oz glass at Beer Revolution Edmonton.
This beer appears a murky, dark apricot amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy, weakly foamy, and fast-disappearing off-white head, which leaves but a few wayward instances of remote islet lace around the glass as things quickly sink away.
It smells of juicy fresh squeezed oranges, white grapefruit rind, bready caramel malt, leafy pine needles, and a hint of metallic alcohol warming. The taste is big Texas red grapefruit, in all its fruity and acerbic glory, understated crackery caramel malt, more leafy, herbal pine bitterness, and a bristling perfumed booziness.
The bubbles are actually decently supportive in their gentle frothiness, the body a sturdy medium weight, and adequately smooth, a small airy creaminess arising as things warm a wee bit. It finishes sweet, in an overwhelmingly fruity manner - all grapefruit, all the time.
Well, this destroys the last time I had the base beer for this one - I'll take grapefruit over raw onion any day and time. This was described to me as a 'radlerized' DIPA, and I am totally down with that cheeky definition.
