Fernie Brewing Company The Real Peel Grapefruit IPA American IPA at 6.4% ABV (C$7.99 at Quarry Park Calgary Co-Op, 650 ml, best before 1-Jan-2017, acquired 17-Aug-2016, reviewed 17-Aug-2016)
Appearance: clear pale gold with two fingers of rocky white head diminishing gradually to a thick cap, spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: pithy grapefruit, pale crackery malt, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
My second “grapefruit IPA” of the day, and this one is more like it: spicy and sharp grapefruit on the nose, and a biting bitter on the tongue. Still nothing like a Grapefruit Sculpin, for example, but a decent citrusy IPA. (14/20)
