    My palate is slowly developing with hops and I just tried an APA called Anti Hero that had a delish grapefruit flavor. Was wondering others that have this taste that are somewhat easily accessable.

    Surly Furious has a ton of grapefruit flavor. Also just had Kiwi Rising, and that thing was grapefruit galore.

    Pliny the Elder is pure grapfruit juice. Lots of Lagunitas beers have a ruby red grapefruit bittersweetness to them.

    An APA with Grapefruit would be Alpha King

    Thomas Creek Chocolate Orange IPA

    I know it says orange, but the taste is straight Grapefruit.

    Maximus. Lagunitas Sucks will be released soon. The Imperial Red, Lucky 13 Alt, WTF, even a Little Sumpin' Sumpin has that ruby red citrus to go along with some orange and tropical notes.

    Another vote for Kiwi Rising here.

    Finestkind and Two Hearted (which I kind of see as kissing cousins) have me scratching my head a bit - I guess it could be the bedbugs. :slight_smile:

    I'd go with Sculpin, just had one two days ago and it was like getting smacked in the face with grapefruit as soon as I opened it.

    Agreed. I always think two hearted is more floral than citrus but I've heard people say both.

    Zombie Dust, Sculpin, Pliny, Sucks and Two-Hearted are the ones I can think of that give you tons of grapefruit.

    It's not on the shelves quite yet, but Red Chair is packed with grapefruit flavor.
