    What I reckon is that every decent IPA has a grapefruit profile. I like all of them. Thank you hops that begin with "C".

    Another vote for Myrcenary - especially on tap

    Wow lots of interesting choices that I don't really agree taste like grapefruit, but taste is unique for everyone so there you go.

    An interesting choice is Great Lakes Nosferatu. Honestly it doesn't taste "citrusy" or "hoppy." It tastes like your biting into the bitter rind of a grapefruiton a biscuit. So interesting and tasty.

    Zombie Dust, or as a cheaper/easier to get option Schlafly TIPA, would be my picks.

    I saw someone else earlier say it, but fresh Racer 5 IPA is a def grapefruit bomb. It was one of the first "craft" beers I ever had, and remember it tasting like a grapefruit juice. And, even to this day, it still has an extremely powerful grapefruit presence.

    i had a little sumpin' sumpin' recently on tap and when i looked in my glass i expected to see a thick yellow skin and sections of pink fruit. maybe it was the batch but it was a carpet bomb of grapefruitiness

    Myrcenary on tap does have a nice grapefruit quality to it, though its generally more of a mash-up of tropical fruit and pine (a lot like Sucks). Pliny and Maha have a bit more straight up grapefruit to them imo.

    I second the Maharaja and Green Flash as West coast grapefruit hits. Love the latest Enjoy by also.

    +1 Sweetwater IPA. Too bad they stopped distributing in my area. I guess that means that I'll drink more StrAight to Ale Monkeynaut and Good people IPA.
