nothing special here...a typical floral/grapefruit aroma and flavor, beginning with a touch of sugary malts, and finishing bitter and hoppy...cloudy yellow appearance and an average mouthfeel.....GRBC needs to create some decent beers

UPDATED: DEC 8, 2006 Bitter, lingering hop taste which I like better each time I drink it. Body fairly thin. Came with excellent eclectic food and the brew-pub is only 2 miles from my home---so I was happy.

Draft at brewpub. Poured clear amber with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.

On tap at GRBC. Slightly hazy straw-orange body, medium tight off-white head. Piney bitter hops nose. Biscuity body with light malt sweetness and loads of perfumey, strongly bitter, earthy hops. Outside the hopping there’s little to comment on, other than the fact that IPAs are like hamburgers- even a trained lemur can make one taste decent.
