the grapefruit sculpin, has exactly zero grapefruit in it, they use a different kind of hops that has some aftertastes that looks like grapefruit, hence the name.

I'm a huge Sculpin fan and actually have a 15.5 gallon keg of it in my man cave right now. Grapefruit Sculpin is one of the best IPA's on the planet but they actually do use a little real grapefruit in it to give it it's grapefruit flavor. My buddy did a brewery tour there recently and the tour guide said they add Grapefruit rind.

For me Grapefruit Sculpin is in a class by itself when compared to other fruit flavored beers - it's really just a world class IPA with a hint of grapefruit aftertaste as you mentioned. I can't think of any other fruit beers that I would actually buy or drink except for Wisconsin Belgian Red from New Glarus.

From their website:
The Sculpin IPA is a testament to our humble beginnings as Home Brew Mart. It showcases bright flavors and aromas of apricot, peach, mango & lemon. The lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops. The Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that can give a strong sting. Ironically, the meat from a Sculpin fish is considered some of the tastiest. Something that has a sting but tastes great; sounds like a Ballast Point India Pale Ale. This version of our Sculpin IPA has grapefruit added; the grapefruit flavor really enhances the citrus aroma of the hops.

Same thing as a session IPA, less alcohol, supposedly meaning you can drink more of them. New Belgium Slow ride is a good one, and I've had a local one that is excellent, Cycle Brewerys fixie Session IPA

I think there is a big difference between a fruit beer, like a Purple Haze, and a beer with a fruity hint, like Grapefruit Sculpin. I mean citrus flavors in IPAs is pretty common they just don't usually put in in the name. Funky Buddha bloody Orange is another really good one.

Rheinheitsgebot (I think I spelled that right)

The only ingredients that could be used were water, barley, and hops.

I stand corrected. I really thought it was the different hop, thanks

The Radler is a good one.

Thrilled I can get it here.

It is good.

I was out on Friday and tried a couple true Sours and they make Radler seem very tame. Radler is much, MUCH more drinkable though. The only thing is that I think it erodes my insides because bad things happen the next day if I have more than two.
