Squared Thc Sparkling Grapefruit

Squared's THC Sparkling Grapefruit is a California-made, cannabis-infused sparkling beer listed at 5.0% ABV and 15 IBU. An IBU of 15 is very low, so there is little hop bitterness here. Whatever edge the drink has should come from grapefruit rather than hops, and the profile should be light, bright and citrus-led, closer to a grapefruit soda or radler than to a traditional hoppy beer. Because it is infused, the THC content is stated on the package. Check the label for the amount per can or serving before opening, as the details supplied here don't specify it. Expect a lively, fizzy texture, a light body, and a crisp, dry-leaning finish with grapefruit zest and a touch of pith bitterness. Styles like this usually have little malt presence and no oak or tannin, so the structure comes from carbonation and fruit acidity. Serve it well chilled, around 38 to 45°F, so the carbonation stays tight and the citrus reads clean rather than sugary as it warms. There is nothing to decant. Pour into a tall pilsner glass, a highball or a stemless flute to keep the bubbles and aromatics up front, or drink from the can over ice if you prefer a more casual route. Its acidity and low bitterness suit salty, fatty or lightly spicy food: fish tacos, ceviche, grilled shrimp, chips with guacamole, salted popcorn or a soft goat cheese salad with citrus. It is a drink-now product, made to be enjoyed fresh and cold, and nothing about it suggests cellaring.
