I’ve wondered the same about grapefruit and bitterness as well.

I’ve compared relative bitterness of things to a grapefruit. My partner thinks grapefruit is less bitter than beer, or many items I consider barely bitter at all. Yet I find grapefruit to be incredibly bitter, out doing almost everything.

Maybe that’s why I don’t like it much?

Is the flavor of grapefruit primarily bitterness? I guess that does sound right, but it was initially surprising to me, because I cannot stand grapefruit, but I very much enjoy all manner of strong coffee and bitter beers like IPAs.
