"Combines the best of two worlds: the sweet aftertaste of a dark beer with the high hops and light finish of an IPA." This beer shares its high hopping and high alcohol DNA with its paler IPA sibling, but like a stout or a porter, it gets its darker colour from roasted and dark malted barley, which also deepens the flavours a bit. It’s rich, hoppy and a bit sweet but still light on its feet.
"This beer is a real crowd-pleaser. It’s perfect for any moment or meal, thanks to its bold grapefruit flavour, tart character and light hoppiness."
The difference between drinking a fruit-flavoured beer and a fruit beer is the difference between buying a blow-up doll (or a battery-operated device) and finding true love. Don’t settle for the knock-off. Have the real thing: a beer whose wort is mixed with real grapefruit puree to allow the sugar to ferment out, leaving the tropical aromas behind.
