The beer features a golden ale profile that's infused with [ruby red grapefruit flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapefruit-fizz) to give it a crisp, citrus profile that's both refreshing and unexpected. The mild hop bitterness is said to work well with the grapefruit notes to effectively give the German-style beer an [easy drinking profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrus-daydream-lager) that will work well for both avid beer drinkers and ready-to-drink (RTD) fans alike. Genesee Ruby Red Kolsch is arriving in 12-ounce 12 packs as well as in individual 12-ounce and 24-ounce can options. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 23% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **CITRUS-INFUSED BEVERAGES:** Opportunity for beverage companies to create refreshing citrus-infused drinks for summer enjoyment. - **EASY-DRINKING RETAIL OPTIONS:** Potential for brands to offer convenient beer packaging formats for both at-home consumption and on-the-go enjoyment. - **SUMMER-BASED FLAVOR INNOVATIONS:** Space for food and beverage companies to introduce seasonal flavor variations to cater to changing consumer preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **BEVERAGE PRODUCTION:** Disruptive potential for breweries and beverage manufacturers to experiment with unique flavor combinations to attract a broader consumer base. - **PACKAGING AND LABELING:** Innovative opportunities for packaging companies to design convenient and eye-catching containers tailored for seasonal drink releases. - **FOOD AND BEVERAGE MARKETING:** Marketing firms can capitalize on promoting limited-time flavor offerings to drive consumer interest and sales during specific seasons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brightly Flavored Blonde Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-peach-kolsch.md) - [Pineapple-Infused Kolsch Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-kolsch-beer.md) - [Grapefruit-Laced Double IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapefruitlaced-double-ipa.md) - [Fruity Wheat Beer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheat-beer-collection.md) - [Juicy Citrus Light Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-sunbrew-citrus-cerveza.md) - [Festive Fruit-Forward Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitforward-beer.md) - [Zesty Lemon Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritas-fruit-brews-lemon-ale.md) - [Berry Citrus Light Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labatt-blue-light-raspberry-lemon.md) - [Golden Hybrid Lagers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/josephsbrau-summer-brew.md)
