It’s juicy with a subtle bitterness. When it pours, it’s a light golden colour with a tightly packed white head. It has good retention.
As you sip it, the clean taste of grapefruit peel, sweet malt and hops fruitiness hits your palate and makes for a well integrated IPA.
So well integrated, in fact, it won ‘Best in Show’ and ‘Best Hoppy Beer’ at the Cape Town Festival of Beer.
A part of Devil’s Peak Explorer series – which brings you bold and inspired new flavours and styles of beer – the Grapefruit Express has defied all odds and managed to win the hearts of many.
And it must be doing something right if a grapefruit-flavoured beer won those titles.
So what are the other beers are newcomers to the Devil’s Peak Explorer series?
From the wonderfully complex Christmas Cake, there’s the east coast IPA Juicy Lucy, Love Parade, Night Owls, and Strawberry Fields.
Devil’s Peak uses the Explorer Series to introduce South Africans to new types – and flavours – of beer that are making big waves internationally. This means instead of playing catchup, we are being introduced to big, bold flavours and styles and there is definitely nothing wrong with that.
And now you know.
