    I haven't tried a lot of the big name IPAs...Sucks, Abrasive, and the like.

    But Odell IPA is probably my favorite go to beer (price, availability, quality), and it has a very balanced grapefruity hop profile.

    I'll definitely put in another vote for Smuttynose Finestkind. I think part of what lends to the comparison is the beer's bitterness, which gives it that pithy quality reminiscent of grapefruit.

    mojo risin is a decent option if you're looking for straight up grapefruit as opposed to my personal favorites, mongo and enjoy by, which also have some tropical notes

    I read through all of the replies and couldn't believe this one hadn't been mentioned yet. I was going to offer it up and then there it was... the very last one in the current thread. Gumballhead has my vote.

    Double Sunshine did the trick for me. Fresh Ruination too.

    NN has a lot more tropical than grapefruit.

    No doubt Smutty Finest Kind is THE grapefruit bomb.
