12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Attractive orange color on the pour with an excellent head and some superb lace. Not perfect clarity, some chill haze. Retention is pretty good.
Nose gives away a hoppy sweetness.
The tastes are, in some ways, rather extraordinary. The beer is, to all intents and purposes, not much other than pure, sweetened grapefruit juice. The grapefruit taste is amazingly strong and singular in its ”obviousness”. This is NOT a hoppy character than is sometimes characterized as bring grapefruit, this LITERALLY IS grapefruit! There isn’t really much resinous, West Coast character either, it really does seem like fruit juice rather than a hoppy beer. Pretty drinakable and refreshing.
Actually I liked it a lot, but I bet some will find it too sweet. Pretty strange, but worth a shot. Try it for breakfast! Odd.
