Alippincott:
My neighbor has this citrus in their yard and last year I tried one of them they gave us. It was absolutely fantastic. My wife is normally not a citrus fan, but said it tastes like candy.

The tree has thorns, which might help with an ID.
I have grafted it to a seedling in my yard.

Any ideas on what it might generally be, or perhaps specifically what cultivar? These ones on the tree are not fully ripe yet.

BorisR:
I'm not sure for sure, maybe it's a "Cocktail" pomelo?

Doesn't look like a cocktail grapefruit to me. It seems to have a navel on the bottom of the fruits. Can you take a photo of the fruit looking from the bottom angle. If the fruits have navel, then most likely it will be one of the navel oranges. Also, the fruit flesh would be much more orange color than a cocktail grapefruit.

It could be a seedling tree?

The fruits are not quite ripe, but they will get orange.
The other photo attached is my grafted seedling. It has little thorns in the crotch of the leaf node.

Navel is usually on the top of fruits
