    I'm surprised it wasn't said already.

    It's been a long time since I;ve had it, but Lagunitas' Hop Stupid was a major grapefruit bomb once upon a time.

    I always thought that Sweetwaters IPA was mega grapefruit.. Atleast fresh it is.. Very grapefruit forward.

    I got zero grapefruit from palate wrecker. I got a lot of pine & caramel out of that beer. I don't get the hype on that one.

    I get grapefruit out of hop notch/nosh...delicious beer.

    Abrasive has quite a bit of grapefruit. I also found DirtWolf to have a good amount of grapefruit.

    Westbrook Citrus Ninja was real grapefruity, but in the best way possible. Hard to find right now, though, and I doubt it is fresh if you see it.

    I'm happy with most of the IPAs and DIPAs which have come my way though I don't feel blown away by them.But if all or practically all I can taste is grapefruit then I want my money back.Beer should be less one dimensional.

    Pick any IPA that's all Citra or Citra blends, or dry hopped and you get a nice grapefruit hit.

    Abrasive
    Zombie Dust
    Kern Citra

    Just a few off the top without trying hard.

    I had Dorado from Ballast Point on draft once and was blown away by the citrus flavors and picked up a ton of grapefruit from it, but haven't seen it on draft since. If you can find it fresh, it's worth the coin.

    This. Very grapefruity. Although not mindblowing by any means, it's a nice beer.
