    the 4.1.13 tasted like a pitcher of sweet grapefruit juice with a hops meatball chunked into it

    Ithaca Flower Power has a nice grapefruity flavor.

    It's been a couple of years since I've had it, and I think my palate may have been a little green, but I had bottle of fresh Dreadnaught and it was a fantastic cocktail of fruit led front and center by a big grapefruit blast. I can still taste that son of a beeech!

    I would go with cigar city humidor ipa. Tastes like amazing grapefruit and hop juice.

    Society and Solitude 5 hands down, but that is kinda what they were going for.

    This is one of my all time favorite IPA's. I gave it too a "non-craft beer friend" to try and his response was "Way too much grapefruit!"

    I would say Sucks and Enjoy By. Both had great grapefruit presence, it very well might be the reason why I love both of these beers.

    Haven't tried many of these CA beers but Short's Hopstashe had over the top grapefruit flavor. Leads the list for me.

    This is the one that came to my mind as well. I've had a lot of the beers listed on the first page of this thread, which is about as far as I'm going to get. And fresh Blue Dot takes the cake for pure grapefruit goodness. Alpine Nelson is also in the running.

    Double Trouble has a huge grapefruit aroma and taste, more than any beer I've had to date and one of my all time favs to boot!

    totally agree with this: had a couple bombers of Racer 5 recently and it was the most "obviously"-grapefruity beer I've ever had, while being really smooth and well-balanced at the same time. Good stuff
