Stewart Brewing’s Pulp Friction is a vibrant, low-alcohol Fruit Beer that marries a soft wheat beer base with the zesty punch of pink grapefruit. This sessionable radler-style brew bursts with the bright, tangy essence of fresh citrus, delivering a sensory experience defined by its refreshing acidity and juicy sweetness. The wheat malt provides a subtle, bready backbone that supports the dominant grapefruit profile without competition. Every sip offers a crisp, effervescent transition from a sharp citrus inhale to a lush, fruit-forward finish, making it an exceptionally light and revitalizing choice for warm-weather enjoyment.

Appearance. Pale straw to light orange with a hazy, pinkish glow (SRM 3–5). Topped by a frothy, off-white to pale pink head with moderate retention and slight lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, zesty pink grapefruit. A subtle underlying bready and doughy malt character from the wheat base provides a soft foundation. Hop aroma is very low to absent, and fermentation character is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression of bright, juicy grapefruit. The flavor is dominated by sweet citrus juice and zest, supported by a mild, bready wheat malt background. Hop bitterness is very low, providing just enough balance to prevent cloying. The finish is sweet and lingering with a juicy, fruit-forward aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a refreshing, crisp character. High carbonation adds a lively prickle. No alcohol warmth is detected at this ABV. A slight creaminess from the wheat base is present, but the overall feel is clean and hydrating.
