Brewdog Santa Paws Cranberry & Grapefruit IPA

Number 4 of 12 in the Brewdog Holiday Variety Pack. Unless most variety 12 packs that offer at most 6 different beers, Brewdog includes 12 different beers in their holiday selection. Tonight's special will be Santa Paws, a IPA made with grapefruit and cranberry. Not everything in this 12 pack could be classified specifically as "holiday", "Christmas" or "Winter", but in my opinion, Santa Paws fits the description. Santa Paws pours a hazy ripe apricot hue, with a two-finger white head, its 6.5% ABV puts it in the range for an American IPA, but I couldn't find any reference to the IBUs, although if I had to guess, I would put it in the 45-55 range. It's hoppy enough, but the fruit flavoring hides the bitterness somewhat. The cranberry gives it that holiday feel, balanced perfectly by the citrus bite of the grapefruit. Not earth-shaking, but a solid representative of the IPA style.
