And the draw is: Parallel 49 Filthy Dirty Grapefruit IPA

Oh hello, what do we have here? Not just P49’s IPA, Filthy Dirty, but a blend between Filthy Dirty and Tricycle! This seems like it could be pretty cool so let’s dive in.

Pour is cloudy orange with minimal head. Big grapefruit aroma. Taste is a perfect blend of grapefruit radler with IPA hops mixed in. It really is the exact midway between Tricycle and Filthy Dirty.

Thematically, this beer doesn’t really fit in this box. The flavour certainly doesn’t scream “winter beer” in any way whatsoever. However, it’s a nearly perfect summer beer. So if this is P49 putting a feeler out there to gauge interest…then count me in as someone that would absolutely buy a few bottles of this next summer. Here’s hoping we see this one again!
