The local brewpub was serving an IPA+grapefruit cocktail (shandy?) that was pretty tasty, which surprised me since I don't typically like IPAs.

I like it. It's somewhat light (4.1% ABV) and the fruit isn't overwhelming, just a pleasant accompaniment. Kind of like a Hefe with an Orange slice in it I'd say. Not hoppy like an IPA though.
