Notes

Beautiful pale Amber color. Strong aroma of grapefruit. Crisp grapefruit notes followed by a bitter finish. Very yummy and quite pleased how this turned out.

I was originally going to make this into a pale ale, but it is definitely too bitter. Will try another batch called Gluten Free Grapefruit Ale 1.1 that will be closer to a pale ale.
