Introducing Rye River Lil' Twist Grapefruit IPA

As you can see this one has a nice crisp and clean look to it. It is streets ahead of the red beer that I shared last week, but is still not a world beater. It is most definitely drinkable and to be fair to Rye River I usually enjoy their beers and they are generally decent value too, with a four pack of these bad boys setting me back €9, which works out at €2.25 per can which is not too bad for IPAs here in Ireland

I found some person on line who said this about it: "A smooth and sessionable IPA with intense aromas of juicy ripe grapefruit, tangerine and pine which follow through to a silky full body." Yep that sums it up pretty well actually.

Can Art

I have featured this one previously in a beer Saturday post, so I won't wax lyrical here about the can art, but I will say that I like it, and I will share some photos too so that you can make up your own mind.

One thing that I like about these beers is the black can, which makes the branding and colours pop that little bit more in my opinion.

It's quite warm in Ireland these days, which is strange, so a nice refreshing IPA is just the tonic on these warm and humid evenings after the kids have gone to bed.

So you actually can taste the grapefruit, that is pretty cool. I might have to look for something similar!

!BEER

Yep, ya can.. it's not pure obvious now, but you can definitely pick it up..

Awesome, will go looking for some.

I always love the way IPAs look and pour, but I can't really handle the taste of them. They all taste like pine needles to me.

They all taste like pine needles to me.

🤣🤣🤣

I suppose it's a bit of an acquired taste and maybe not for everyone.. I love them though

Aot of people do! They seem to have taken over the space.
