Magic Hat Brewing Company based in Vermont, California, recently came out with a new grapefruit IPA called Electric Peel that sends shocks of citrus hop flavors.
Available throughout the year, the so-called shocks can be experienced through a medium malt body that is amplified by grapefruit peel.
Boasting an ABV of 6.0% and 65 IBUs, the hoppy ale has a bittersweet finish.
As hops, the variants include Apollo, Centennial and Chinook, while malts comprise Pale and Carapils.
Besides grapefruit peel, pink grapefruit can also be added as another flavor.
Magic Hat head brewer Chris Rockwood said: "At Magic Hat, our goal is to brew the best tasting beer on the planet. This means experimenting with different variations of hops and flavors.
"When developing Electric Peel, we wanted to enhance the wonderful grapefruit-like aroma and character that some hops already have, so we tried adding grapefruit peel to the boil. The end result is a refreshing grapefruit aroma, balanced by strong hop bitterness underneath."
Electric Peel is available in 6-packs and 12-packs at various grocery and convenience stores.
