Two Lakes Triple IPA Brewed with Grapefruit

Two Lakes Triple IPA, Tyranena Brewing Company (Lake Mills, WI) - Lakefront Brewery (Milwaukee, WI)
(Imperial IPA)

In the last year or so, it seems beer brewed with grapefruit has been a hot commodity and IPAs are the perfect style for it. When it was learned that two of my favorite Wisconsin breweries were going to collaborate on a grapefruit IPA, I was thrilled. Man, did they deliver. This beauty pours a clear, golden, orange hue with a nice white head. Huge aromas of grapefruit and citrus. Citrus hop bitterness throughout the taste with loads of grapefruit flavor. Perfectly balanced between the bitterness and the grapefruit tartness. Let's also not forget that this is a triple IPA with abv around 9.5%. Unlike other beers brewed with fruit that often turn out more like a shandy, Two Lakes is a fantastic beer!
