Moosehead Radler Grapefruit

◎ Appearance

Moosehead Radler Grapefruit pours a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and brisk carbonation that generates a light, ephemeral white head. The effervescence is visibly lively, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the pale liquid. Lacing adheres briefly to the glass, typical of a well-carbonated, fruit-forward radler.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by vibrant grapefruit citrus, with a tart, slightly bitter citrus pith character that telegraphs the fruit-forward design. Beneath the citrus sits a clean, faint malty foundation that provides minimal distraction. No yeast-derived esters or hop complexity intrude—the profile remains straightforward and sessionable.

◐ Taste

On the palate, a crisp lager backbone delivers clean, light malty sweetness that establishes a dry foundation. Tart grapefruit flesh dominates the mid-palate, delivering bright acidity and a slightly bitter citrus edge without overwhelming the beer's balance. Bitterness remains restrained at 8 IBU, allowing the fruit character to shine while the finish stays dry and quenching.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, with drying citrus acidity lingering momentarily on the palate. Aftertaste remains refreshing and thirst-quenching, free from sweetness or cloying fruit residue.
