Not a bad session IPA

Nice enough..

Nice fruitiness. Decent supermarket brew.

Punchy tropical tasting NEIPA with a hint of Grapefruit ... would prefer more Grapefruit but hey still good

Not a bad beer, but not the best. Doesn’t quite hit home like a true NEIPA , and isn’t as good as other Grapefruit IPAs. It’s a hybrid of both styles in my opinion. Still it’s refreshing, hop forward with a nice tart citrusy bitterness. There’s sweet tropical aromas akin to a NEIPA but the grapefruit takes away from the flavour. At £3 from a supermarket it’s good value for money

We’ve conquered all of Europe! A nice fruity zesty neipa a pleasure to drink mind you after watching Liverpool be crowned champions of Europe anything will taste good

Yet another purchase from Tesco. Loving the new range of beers they’ve taken on. This time around I’m drinking a Grapefruit NEIPA from UNBARRED, at 6.5% ABV. I’ve always been a fan of grapefruit infused beers and couldn’t wait to try this. The beer pours a golden amber colour in the glass, with a one finger white head. Decent carbonation in there. The aroma... SMASH! Grapefruit hits you straight away! There’s a hint of lemon in there, maybe some pine needle. The amount of hops used in the beer creates this huge grapefruit aroma. Smells great! The taste certainly delivers the grapefruit predominantly. The carbonation pushes the beer around the palate nicely. Definitely a hoppy brew this one. There’s a decent level of bitterness on the back end, that lingers for a little while after the beer goes down. Aroma is good, taste is good. The problem for me with this beer... it claims to be a New England IPA. I don’t get it. The beer is not hazy enough for a start to be a NEIPA. There definitely needs to be a good amount of oats in the beer, which there isn’t. It’s a little too carbonated for a NEIPA as well. I recommend that you grab Love & Hate NEIPA by VOCATION brewery (also from Tesco’s) and put it side by side with this. The difference is night and day. They look nothing the same. That’s because Love & Hate is a true NEIPA and this one isn’t. Overall, decent aroma, nice taste, it’s quite refreshing. I can’t rate it highly as it’s not what it says on the tin. 2.5 from me at best.
