The grapefruit is a fruit that divides tastes: some appreciate the fresh tartness and fruity acidity, while others grimace just thinking about it. Its high vitamin content is definitely a point that speaks for the grapefruit and also inspires its attractive appearance. What we love most about grapefruit, however, is that its unique aroma profile harmonizes wonderfully with the palette of beers: The tangy acidity, the subtle sweetness and the crisp tartness complement the character of many beers and give them an elegant lightness.
The Dutch brewery vandeStreek is also making use of the advantages of this aroma pairing. Your grapefruit IPA is a beer specialty that works entirely without alcohol and fills this gap with a plus in taste.
The fruity India Pale Ale is presented in a warm amber tone with a copper-red sheen in the glass and is crowned with a large amount of fine-pored foam. The grapefruit runs like a red thread through the beer pleasure and dominates both the appealing smell and the taste. Strong notes of sun-ripened grapefruit bring freshness, acidity, tartness and fine sweetness to the beer, while the malt adds soft notes and the hops provide delicate lemon tones and a pointed bitterness.
