| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2008 Bottle, special from brewery. Bright magenta with corresponding pink head. A slight bit of sourness in the nose, distinct wine aromas. Flavors are especially grapey with a bit of fun funkiness. Slight yeastiness in finish. Loads of potential in this artistic brew. goldtwins (4080), Nesconset, New York, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 9, 2008 At Liar’s Club on tap. The aroma was thin and fruity with hints of caramel and grapes. The beer poured a beautiful reddish purple color with thin head and thin lasting lacing. The flavor was vinious and malty with awesome sweet cab grapes and caramel/molasses. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with great carbonation. Really nice beer. WeeHeavySD (2980), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA

Pours purply red with a small pink head. Nose was sweet and sticky with a vinous quality. Taste was sweet and slightly sour with a wine like quality to it.
