Pressure Drop Brewing Co. Nanban Kanpai (6.5%)
This is a Wheat IPA made with orange, grapefruit and yuzu (an East Asian citrus fruit), and it’s a big blast of super fresh fruit in both flavour and aroma. In fact I have to admit this this is a …...
View ArticleLondon Fields Brewery Grapefruit Dead (5%)
London Fields’ Bootlegger Series looks lovely but sadly this bottle is entirely flat and lifeless. It’s a beer brewed with grapefruit zest, but without any fizz, without any life, it’s rendered a damp...

Brewed as a collaboration with Prairie Artisan Ales, this Saison includes Kaffir Lime, lemongrass, grapefruit and Amarillo. That’s a lot of extra stuff but it really works, adding all sorts of extra...

The aroma drifting up at me as I opened this can was absolutely delicious, packed with grapefruit and satsumas, I can’t begin to tell you just how fresh and zesty it smelled. And once I’d poured this...
View ArticleBrewDog Elvis Juice (6.5%)
I wanted this to be so much better than it is. It’s a shame, but unfortunately Elvis Juice has to be reviewed in the context of Magic Rock’s unbelievably brilliant High Wire Grapefruit. And it doesn’t...
View ArticleSiren Craft Brew Pompelmocello IPA (6%)
Pompelmocello è una birra che è grande e succosa, con un colore oro pallido e un aroma di pompelmo e miele. OK, that’s enough of that. Brewed with stacks of Enigma, Bravo and Apollo hops, all the zesty...

I have a bit of a problem. You see, I love Magic Rock’s Grapefruit Highwire and I’m rather partial to BrewDog’s Elvis Juice, but this little can of loveliness wipes the floor with both of them. As you...

View ArticleAdnams Brewery Grapefruit IPA (4.5%)
I generally like Adnams’ beer, but this is terrible. It looks OK, sitting a warm amber in my glass, but the aroma is the first sign of something not right, as the smell is watery honey and chemically...

Not as good as Grapefruit High Wire but miles ahead of Elvis Juice, Lervig’s Grapefruit version of Lucky Jack is really lovely. It pours a pale gold with a little fizzing head and smells of sweet honey...

This little can of beer absolutely wipes the floor with all other Grapefruit IPAs. Forget Grapefruit Highwire, forget Elvis Juice, they aren’t a patch on this beer from Mike Hess. Why is it so much...
