I'm sorry I saw this too late. Blew $10 on something that I'll have to add to the compost heap. But now I'm scared. I'm brewing a goes, and bought the vintners harvest grapefruit puree. I haven't added it yet. Has anyone tried it? Is it as foul as that grapefruit shandy? I know you advanced guys will tell me to stomp my own organic grapefruits, but I'm really just trying to save myself from paying $10 a six pack. Not trying to impress the brew gods. Advice?
I have stayed away from this particular Leiny product, but knowing what their other "fruit" beers taste like, there's no way in hell they use a quality product like VH puree. They definitely use flavor extracts, thus the "Fruity Pebbles" character of their flagship.
For a grapefruit gose, I would consider the VH puree one of the top choices for adding grapefruit flavor.
Which Leinie product are you talking about? I get a fruity pebbles flavor from their Sunset Wheat, but more of a countrytime lemonade from the lemon shandy. I'd consider the lemon shandy more of their flagship. Their vanilla porter is sickeningly sweet as well.
$10 a six pack is pretty steep as well, it's usually around $6.99 (maybe $7.99 now) in Illinois. Maybe it's a tax thing, but I couldn't imagine spending $10 on a sixer when you could get so many mediocre beers for less.
Leinenkugel-Remember, it's a twist off.
