Commercial Description:
Created by Samuel Adams Employee Lili Hess, Hawaii This is a very creative spin on a pale ale. As Lili describes it, "It’s like you are drinking a pale ale after biting into a fresh green seedless grape." This delicate brew is light-bodied with unique sweet, yet dry flavors from the grapes. What a combination...

12 oz bottle. Amber honey pour. Sweet aroma that has both malt caramel and fruit with is very believable as grape. The flavor is a blend of fruit beer, apple cider and IPA. Strange and I don’t care for it. The combo of flavors just don’t work for me. The bitter does not mesh well with the grape…Yuk. Medium creamy semi-sticky mouth feel that adds to the gross factor. I’ll not drink it again.

Pours orange-amber with quickly dissipating head. Generic aroma of corn or hay. Taste is interesting with a carbonation bite at first, and then sweet malt. It tastes like a generic ale with some grape juice dripped in. Interesting, but not great, and not a session beer to repeat several times -- it seems too sweet to me.

Amber colored beer with a frothy off white head. Light sweet nose that I will say has green grape in it only because of the name of the beer. Boy, I just don’t get a lot of "fresh green seedless grape" in this. Sweet beer with light maltiness, breadiness, and a tart fruitiness that I guess could be grape. It seems like a pretty generic Pale Ale, with some non-descript fruit to it.

Shared this with poor Turd. Poured a decent looking brew. Copper amber with a one finger frothy offwhite head. Doesn’t look special but doesn’t look bad. Then I smelled it...smelled bad. On a related note it tasted bad as well. The aroma was grassy, hay, sweet, caramel, sweet fruit. The flavor was a little offensive and astringent, grassy, cornish, sweet fruity element, maybe a little bitter. Not too hot,

Just drank this swill. This is a decent bitter pale with some grape juice added. Sorry I called it swill, but It just did not taste very good. Sweet malts, light bitterness, grape sweetness. meh.

Pours a clear copper with a fizzy head and spotty lace. Aroma is lightly sweet caramel, bready grains, grapes and yeasty. Flavor is toasted malt with some grape and dark fruit. Thin mouth feel, sweet fruity finish. I must say this was better than I was expecting.

Poured a deeper and clear golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of grains, grass, light caramel, and some grapes. Tastes of caramel, citrus, and a berry / grapiness. Good experiment but not quite delicious.
