Let's cut straight to the chase Lil Twist is alright, but Elvis Juice it is not. For me Elvis Juice from Brewdog has that market cornered but I got this can as part of a 4 pack from Rye River brewing, So I said I'd put it through it's paces

Another Saturday, another IPA to taste and sure why not.

Here's what the brewery has to say about it.

What they say

A SMOOTH AND SESSIONABLE IPA WITH INTENSE AROMAS OF JUICY RIPE GRAPEFRUIT, TANGERINE AND PINE WHICH FOLLOW THROUGH TO A SILKY FULL BODY.

Beer Art

Not so much beer art here, more just design and it's grand, not fantastic, not shite, just grand. I do like the black can they use, as mentioned in previous posts.

Thoughts

This beer poured a nice golden orange colour into my trusted beer tasting glass. For a beer that mentions Grapefruit in the name, there wasn't a whole lot coming through in aroma or taste. Citrus and pine were the main aromas which I got.

As I often do, I Accompanied this beer with an Indian curry. Beer and spice seem to complement each other pretty well.

fucking grapefruit. More poison than fruit. terrible. Doubt a grapefruit beer tasted the May West. I had my first vindaloo last week @ablaze. I'm glad I had it but I shall not be having it again.

Ha ha, don't knock till you've tried it. Grab a can of Elvis Juice the next time you see it and give it a rattle. I'm telling ya, they are lovely!

Funnily enough I've had a vindaloo, when I go proper hot, I go for Madras. You end up with an arse like a Japanese flag!
