Fermented grapefruit juice
nateo:
I made a batch of grapefruit "wine" recently. It was just Florida's Best grapefruit juice + yeast (IIRC it was Cote des Blanc). It's got kind of a funky nose on it. Like sulfur, but slightly different. I used a bit of yeast nutrient, but I think the yeast was still pretty unhappy due to the low pH. It still smells strongly like grapefruit juice, so it might just be the aroma of the juice, and not actually yeast-produced sulfur.
Anyway, I didn't make it to drink by itself (I made it for radlers) but it's pretty undrinkable on its own. Mixed with a pilsner it's pretty nice though.

Hmmm... bet it would be pretty nice with SNPA or any other Cascade-heavy APA/IPA. Heck, maybe try Randalling it over some Cascades in a french press...
hooter:
Isn't radlers just beer mixed with non-alcoholic juice or soda? I've gotta be honest, grapefruit wine sounds just plain awful any way you look at it.
nateo:
I find soda to be way too sweet, so I don't really care for any commercial radlers.
majorvices:
sounds disgusting from the start. you should have known better. and rattlers are for sissy's.. just sayin'.
