12oz bottle. Grapefruit peel makes sense. Orange-tan body, creamy off-white head. Medium to full bodied, the grapefruit rind is sort of an odd call, considering you can get more enjoyable, very similar tones with hops. Ends of having a fruit beer taste almost, and while it is clean, just isn’t really what I’d look for in a session Pale Ale. OK.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a clear apricot with a near white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a combination of grassy and light citrus hops with some light sweet grains underlying. Flavor has light citrus up front with a touch of light fruit, grass and sweet grains underlying.

Great little pale! It has all the nice notes of floral and grapefruit hop notes!

portableparty (1598) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - FEB 28, 2013
12 oz. bottle. Pours amber with a soft off white head that settles to a spotty film. Aroma has soft grapefruit and mild light malt. Taste is lightly bitter and malty with a dry finish. Palate is thin chalky and dry. Not a bad pale ale, but nothing special, little watery.

12 oz bottle, Pours a dark orange color with an off-white head. Citris aroma, slight bitterness. No enough hops for me, this beer was just okay.

Bottle pour. Taste and smell of the hops is not as strong as I’d like in this kind of beer.

Ericular (229) - Minnesota, USA - NOV 26, 2012
Pours orange-brown with a good amount of head with staying power. Aroma is faint hops and citrus. Taste is citrus and floral. Nothing as biting as an IPAs, which is the good and the bad of it. Very drinkable and tasty, if not just a bit too mild.

RABinVA (689) - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA - SEP 3, 2012
Bottle. Pours orange/gold. Aroma is just generically sweet. The grapefruit peel adds a slight characteristic tartness, but no real flavor. Not very hoppy, just sticky sweet but an easy drinker. Meh.

douglas88 (4480) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - AUG 18, 2012
12 ounce bottle thanks to khoffman43 . Pours a clear copper color with some hints of ruby, a large white head. A sweet malty nose with some oranges and pepper. A fairly smooth and very light flavor with some floral hops and sweet earthy malts. Missing anything that stands out. Looks nice. Decent.

12oz pour into a pint glass Somewhat bitter but that faded quickly. Not very hoppy. Some citrus note but those were hard to come by. Overall, not impressed with the beer
