H&R
Grapefruit has a handsome hazy, orange-copper hue and pours with a nice
almost-white head. It has a formidable ruby red grapefruit nose--juicy,
but bitter, with just a whiff of candy sweetness. The flavour takes a
similar tack, with an emphasis on grapefruit zest and a seriously dry
finish.
As I've said before, I'm suspicious of
grapefruit flavoured IPAs, because it is such a naturally-complimentary
flavour that can often be achieved by dry hopping. However, this little
beaut really embraced its pulpy, juicy, and bitter namesake. Many IPAs
taste like grapefruit, but this one exudes it. The only serious
complaint that I have is that, unlike the aroma, the flavour is a bit
over-sweet.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
