Bottle, LCBO Summer 08 release. Golden orange, small white head - looks like orange soda pop. Tons of grapefruit in strong aroma with hints of a wheat beer in the background. Taste - well, it tastes like a decent wheat mixed with grapefruit juice. As much of a beer as a snakebite or shandy I guess. It is refreshing, but the sweetness of the grapefruit juice gets cloying as it warms. The over carbonation makes it seem like an alco-op though. Mildly interesting gimmick.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of boutip. Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Smells of grapefruit, candy, hay. Tastes of grapefruit and tangy with a finish that reminds me of orange soda.

Oct 3, 2008 It’s murky orange with a huge head. The aroma has notes of pink grapefruit and oranges. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of pink grapefruit and oranges. It’s very quenching and pleasant to drink.

Sep 29, 2008 This isn’t too bad. Bought it from a street stall set up next to the Brandenburg gate whilst the very last few stragglers were limping home in the Berlin Marathon for 2008. A good alternative to alcopops but there could be more grapefruit because that is one of my favourite juices.

Sep 24, 2008 Cloudy, pinkish-orangey colour. Smells like grapefruit, tastes like sweet grapefruit with a slight wheaty body. Somewhat creamy, grapefruity finish. Light and refreshing.

Sep 20, 2008 Hazy fruity orange. Grapefruit-pure aroma smells pulpy and good. Fizzy mouthfeel. Tastes like grapefruit juice and is thin, lacking wheat malt character and depth but is juicy and refreshing.
