Widmer Brothers Shaddock IPA

Apparently there was a man named Captain Shaddock who brought grapefruit and other citrus fruits from Southeast Asia to the West Indies; Shaddock IPA is Widmer Brothers' X-114 IPA brewed with grapefruit peel. The grapefruit is very evident, tasting like some grapefruit juice was added to the beer, this, combined with the natural grapefruity taste of the hops makes for a very refreshing brew. An interesting concept, but really not a beer for the big kids. Maybe something to drink during a rousing game of beer pong.
