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...

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.

Typical pale in most respects, although it was quite dry due to the grapes. Not too bad, different for sure

I really wish I didn’t spend the money on this...I got through half the bottle and then it went down the drain. The thought of grape and beer is intriguing but then as you drink it you realize pale ale is the worst vehicle for grape flavor, this would have been better suited for wheat beer like the rest of fruit beers...can’t believe this won.

While I was staining my house I was thinking of the refreshing grape pale ale I’ll have at the end would be soooo good. I ended up being alittle dissapointed. I did not really smell or taste much grape at all. It’s and average to mOK pale ale and that’s all.

By George, this aint bad. If I was a sweet beer kinda guy I think I would love it. It Pours a nice pale golden color. With a little white head. The taste reminds me of Raison D’ etre.
