    Shorts Hopstache has a decent amount of grapefruit taste upfront.

    Never had anything that was near as 'grapefruity' as Furious. You can open a can on the other side of the room and smell the grapefruit

    Lagunitas Sucks, NEBCO Gandhi Bot, and Pipeworks Ninja vs Unicorn all come to mind in terms of grapefruit, but each are different in terms of prescence of the fruit.

    Never had this one, but I'm freakin dying to try Sun King "Grapefruit Jungle" I think it might be releasing soon, and if so, I'll definitely try to aquire some, and some more Osiris... Osiris is a fantastic citrusy pale ale, and Lil Sumpin, Maximus, and Sucks all come to mind as well

    It definitely had a big grapefruit presence but I think you are looking for a grapefruit hop presence judging by the other beers you enjoy that have it. Anyhow, just thought I would throw this one out there for a giggle.

    Surprised no one has mentioned Surly Abrasive yet, it's like shoving a grapefruit directly into your sinuses.
    In a good way!

    I can think of several iconic images from the movie that don't give me the creeps like ol' Boggs the rapist does.

    Brooks hanging himself, for example, gives me less creeps.

    No no don't change it. It's awesome exactly because it's like the last thing anybody would ever pick to represent them. Prison bull queer rapist looking lustily and hungrily at you as you shower. It's fantastic.

    The grapefruit hop presence is one I love, but I'm open to suggestions of any style that has a nice grapefruit flavor...so thanks for this one!

    I'm really looking forward to hopefully getting to try Sofie Paradisi from Goose Island....Sofie brewed with grapefruit peels!

    That's easy...HOTD Blue Dot. If you've ever wanted a grapefruit IPA there you go. It is seriously incredible and tastes like fresh grapefruit!

    Short's Hopstache actually uses grapefruit in the brewing process.

    Can't get more grapefruity than that.

    How about if we extend the question by regions. Such as best grapefruity smell and taste in Chicago
