Too much grapefruit, not enough hops for an IPA.

It is an above average offering for a broadly distributed Abita beer.
Compared to Jockamo IPA, it tastes like fresh
Heady Topper from the tap.

The mavens have too much of an influence on the beers I drink so I've yet to try it. So far e-peer pressure has been good to me.

Meh not bad but not outstanding, I could drink it and get drunk only because it hides the alcohol well and only like 4% or something

I dig it. I wouldn't drink it all night, but a couple are good.

I had it a few times and it doesn't seem strong, is it stronger than that?

I don't know, but if it's 4% ABV I really hope it hides it well.

Naw it's up around 7%. It's not bad, I like it more than almost anything else I've had lately from Abita.

It's 6%. Not hard to look up. LINK

I have not tried it. I will never give another Abita IPA a chance.

It was alright, I'm not a huge IPA fan so that kind of knocked it down for me.

Not bad, but not awesome.

I thought it was decent. One of Abita's better efforts. Honestly, if you had just told me it was an IPA, not mentioning the grape fruit part, I wouldn't have questioned it. The grape fruit was not very strong, and it wasn't over hopped. It isn't something I'll seek out, but I will gladly drink it if I run across it somewhere.
