I can't imagine a more vile beer than an Imperial Wheat.

You say that...this tastes like straight up grapefruit juice. The description intrigued me, so I grabbed it.

3 Citrus Peel Out is an Imperial Wheat Ale brewed with blood orange juice, tangerine and grapefruit peels. 3 Citrus Peel Out is the newest in the company’s seasonal Imperial Series. It features an 8.5% ABV, a grain bill consisting of 35% wheat, CTZ & Mosaic hops and a walloping amount of citrus. Over four and a half pounds of tangerine & grapefruit peel per barrel accompany tropical flavors from Mosaic hops and an added boost of blood orange juice during fermentation. This refreshing brew sits around 30 IBU and its nice citrus pith complements the bitterness. Residual sweetness helps accentuate the fruity character and masks the 8.5% ABV well.

I'm not saying it's amazing, but it tastes nothing like a wheat ale normally tastes. Honestly I'd want to drink this before work with a healthy breakfast. Too bad it's 8.5%
