Comments
Alcoholic Grapefruit Juice
Grapefruit Mach 1 adds a bunch of grapefruit juice to Rocket Republic's IPA.
I got mine served in a purple cup, so I can't say much about the looks. It is light with a white film of a head.
Obviously, it smells of grapefruit; but not the bright grapefruit traits one expects from an IPA. This smells like grapefruit juice and grass.
The taste is very much that of grapefruit juice with beer just behind that. I'm not a hop head and I appreciate how this Grapefruit Mach 1 twists the grapefruit traits one expects from hoppy beers.
