Grapefruit juice, citrus brewed with their amber. And sweetness from? And pop carbonation? Very refreshing

Only reason I’m evening entering this is the 50% beer part. This couldy yellow beverage looks like juice. Aroma is dominated by grapefruit. Flavour is sweetly fruity and brings to mind a soda pop. It was actually quite pleasant, but no matter what anyone says, it is definitely on the edge of what qualifies as a beer, even a fruit beer.

Grapefruit aroma, clean and true like. Cloudy, citrus with white head. Medium body, plenty of refreshing grapefruit flavours. Interesting. I had fun with this one, but let’s make it more ale and less fruit next time.

Bouteille claire de 341 ml obtenue grace à Gonzonbeer. Arôme: Odeur de pamplemousses, de mangues ainsi que d’autres fruits. Apparence: Couleur blonde pâle voilée. Large col mousseux qui disparaît vite. Faible densité des bulles. Large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de fraises et de pamplemousses. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est la texture sont mince. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût de jus de fruit. A mon avis il s’agit d’un cooler aux fruits. Le tout est très raffraichissant. (Rating #277)

First bottle out of a basket of fruit beers from Mr_Kimchee. Smells like grapefruit juice. Good starting head is quickly gone. Cloudy gold beer. Too much sweetness and the beer is syrupy rather than fruity. I expected fruit juice and beer and ended up with a pound of sugar on red grapefruit half. The other raters’ references to soda pop are bang on.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy, lemon juice coloured body. Nose is solely of grapefuit. Very sweet and alco-pop like - hardly tart. Terrible representation of a beer. They are seeking out a new market and steal the summer Corona and Bavaria crowd... best of luck, boys!

Grapefruit aroma, hazy yellow, pours a big ,short lived white head, leaves some lace too. Taste is grapefruit (I’ve had worse apricot wheat beers) Very sweet, but oddly enjoyable, I wouldn’t say refreshing though. Not too bad, better than expected.

This is not a beer. This is spiked Sunny D. A Fizzy fruit drink. Very carbonated. Tasted at the St. Lawrence show.

I’m having a hard time rating this beverage. Taken as a beer, I would probably have to rate it quite low, as it simply isn’t very beer-like. But taken as a fruit-flavoured alcoholic beverage, it’s actually somewhat enjoyable. It pours a very hazy, light gold colour, and has a strong grapefruit juice aroma. The body is crisp and highly carbonated. The flavour is like Ting (a Caribbean grapefruit soda) mixed about 75/25 with a very light lager. It wasn’t as sweet as a feared it might be, and I found it quite tasty all in all. But again, taken strictly as a beer, most would probably consider it a failure.

I think this is not a beer but more a cooler... Aroma:lemon,citrus... appearance:gold, head... Flavor:Coolers...
