Fresh grapefruit purée and American Citra hops create a brisk, approachable IPA with layers of refreshingly tart aromas.

This was dated 12-23-16 no glasses with me when purchased. Nothing on the nose & a bit of gushing when opening. Overall as described from previous ratings. Pretty good for its age - I expected the worst!

Easily drinkable. Nice and smooth. Pours a light slightly golden color. Top is a little flat, barely a head. Taste is pretty decent, not overpowering with the grapefruit notes. Feel is blended well...not much to say here. Overall I would order this again at, say, a restaurant. Maybe wouldn't seek out a 6 pack though

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a dark golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, malts, light grapefruit. Taste is also mild, grapefruit, some malts, very little bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.

Fruit and IPA up front that goes away quickly and just a linger of malts. Average taste seems a little early and quick.

I bought this off the Binny's single shelf. It poured a clear golden with white head that left some lacing. The scent had hints of grapefruit. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. There was grapefruit bitterness present. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a decent beer.

Good looking and full, fruity smell, but the taste does not come across as fully integrated. The open is fruit-forward, but the middle and back has an acidity that reminds me of juice rather than beer. The result is something not quite as tight as I'd like.
