Abita Brewing Company Grapefruit Harvest IPA American IPA at 6% ABV (US$2.09 at Specs Main Branch, 355 ml, best before 10-May-2016, reviewed 24-Jan-2016)
Appearance: cloud medium gold with a short, short-lived off-white head, patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grapefruit, bready malt, stone and tropical fruit. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, mild tart. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-low carbonation, off-dry lightly tart finish. (3/5)
I might be a touch generous with my rating here, but I’m a sucker for a grapefruit IPA. That said, I’d like this more if there were more of it. I can see the argument for subtlety, but I don’t tend to be a subtle kind of guy. More is always better, right? Good fun, if not great. (13/20)
