Brew Batch #149 Grapefruit Spiny Benthos

If this beer turned out as well as it wafted out of the keg, then we're all in for a treat. I've never tried cloning a beer directly but this was such a huge fav of mine prior to the $1B Ballast Point buyout that I had to give it a go. The Safale 05 got down on the sugars and FG 1.006-0.001@ 54F to give a superb overshoot of 7% at a 7.6% (no one will know the difference). And the grapefruit synergy of the peel and Cascade seems to be  an unstoppable Juggernaut to the nares.
