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...

Easily my least favorite Longshot beer to date. I mean, honestly...it really lacked any Pale Ale character and was really more akin to a Pale Lager in flavor and finish. An aroma of...of...well, not much actually. Perhaps a slight bit of malty sweetness but aside from that vague description...not much. Appearance was a clear, reddish brown color with a one-finger thick head. Flavor had some sour graininess to it but aside from that awful bit, there wasn’t much else. I’ve got 2 other bottles to try so we’ll see.

Didn’t really notice the grape. Tasted like a normal pale ale with a little bit of crispness. I guess grapes should stay with wine.

Pours amber with a small white head. The grapes didn’t play a big part, hints here and there, but shy and probably good that it was that way. The pale was soft on the malts, lightly hopped in the finish, fruity and a touch citrusy. Not a bad beer, but i’m a bit shocked it won its way to the Longshot series.

Didn’t like this long shot so much. No taste of grapes over the pale ale flavor. This could have been a better beer, but I don’t see it worthy of winning the 2007 Long Shot contest.

12 oz bottle: Aroma is bready,definite malt characteristics, maybe a slight amout of grapes but not noticeable. I can detect a bit of roasted malt and it’s very lgihtly hopped. Appearance is golden/amber clear with a huge sized white head that lingers. Taste is lightly hopped, nicely bitter, I do find the green grapes on the back end. It’s slight but not overwhelming whatsoever nicely done. I like that this isn’t just a in your face grape flavor. It’s Beer first and some grape in the taste but not the whole taste. I like it in my opinion.

This beer carries a small head , slight lacing on the glass and a light amber color to it. The overall aroma has a hint of maltiness mixed with a little bit of grape. The flavor carries a malt flavor and finishes with sweet taste of green grape at the front of the tongue that sticks around for a good amount of time. I am not too impressed with this offering from Sam.

Pours a pale amber with white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy with faint grape. Taste is bland with slight grape. Finish is clean and crisp

Not a good beer. Didnt taste grapes at all, just a bad beer. I can taste a hint of maple syrup, but this beer should never have won ANYTHING.
