Very refreshing, crisp, clean grapefruit radler. Pours a clear golden color with some fluffy white head and very scant lingering lacing. Smells of grapefruit, malt, vanilla and some faint fruity and floral hops. Taste follows the nose, with the grapefruit notes really coming through as the beer warms. Clean, mild, thin mouthfeel and decent carbonation. Great for a hot summer day.

 

 

Quite and enjoyable Radler! Poured from bottle to nonic pint glass. Lots of foamy head atop a dark yellow body. Big juicy grapefruit aromas, tangy and sweet, with wheat, cracker. Grapefruit naturally hits the tongue first, sweet yet tart. Refreshing, and easy. There's a bit of the wheat character as well.

 

 

 

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 8/1/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy ruby red grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of pine, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of grapefruit, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy ruby red grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of pine, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and citrus tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy ruby red grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, berries, wheat, cracker, white bread, pine, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of grapefruit, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky/resin/rind/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is an excellent Radler. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of grapefruit, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Feels like Citra hops. Awesomely juicy/vibrant hops/grapefruit, with light dank/earthy notes; with a great clean pale/wheat malt backbone for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive style example as expected. Awesome summer beer.
