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...

Bottle from BevMo. Medium amber/brown in color. Somewhat bready malty aroma. Roasty malted flavor. A hint of hoppy bitterness towards the end. Tastes like a million other average pale ales.

Bronze color with a taller ecru head. Fruity scent, with mango and rose petals. Generic sweet brew. Bit of white grape juice and touch of melon. Little bit of malt come out in the finish. As good as the weizenbock was, this is a let down. A light fruit golden ale.

Pours clear deep golden- coppery with a thin lasting head. Aroma is light citrusy and grassy hops slight cattiness, and green grapeskin, and catty white wine. Flavor si a bit sweet, light bitterness, green grapeskin astringency and roughness, with more white wine and some chaap sparkling wine- a bit of apple and acetaldehyde.

Aroma brings delicate caramel malt notes with a touch of fruitiness, but nothing that is clearly a grape aroma. Flavor is lightly malty with a tart snap laying on the sides of the tongue. The only clue that there is grape in here is when you breathe out. Very subtle, but in a good way. Nice long lingering fruity finish.

Some artificial grape flavor. Moderate hops, really a light pale ale. I don’t think I would notice the grape if I wasn’t expecting it to be there. Well carbonated, and a bright gold color.

12 oz. bottle, part of Longshot Six Pack, from BevMo LaJolla. Pours bright, clear orangey amber with a smallish head the diminished quickly. Predominantly toasty malt aroma with light fruity and floral notes and a bit of perfume. Grainy malts in the flavor, with zesty, bitter grape and hop notes, along with an interesting umami undertone near the finish. Light to medium body and crispy carbonation.

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.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear copper with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting and produced fair lacing. Medium fruity hoppy aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium tart citrus flavor with a medium sweet finish of average duration. Interesting drinkable beer.
