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 Pours out a light amber topped with a cream white head. Aroma of I guess light grape some malt. Tast kind of like a amber. I can’t pick up the grape much. Not to bad.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel, very slight floral hop aroma, and some sweetness. Flavor is pretty sweet with caramel and fruit. Dry finish but not much hop character. It’s present but not very strong at all.

Bottle: Bright golden pour with a smidgen of citrus hops and maltiness. Flavor is hoppy and a bit fruity, but the grape certainly doesn’t stand out. Decent effort, but unexciting.

Bottle. Pours a light copper color with a small beigh head. Aroma of grapes, grain, light citrus, and some grassy hops. Flavor is lightly sweet and malty with light caramel, grapes, citrus, and a touch of honey. Light bodied with a dry and fruity finish.

thanks to BMan1113VR for the bottle. I am guessing that the original recipe was different. Pours a pale amber color with a small to medium sized head that maintains as a haze over the beer. Nose is salty, wheat, like, and something else I am not sure. Mouth feel is acidic and the finish has a small note of fruity grape like finish with some pronounced bitternes. Not something that I would like to drink regularily.

A 2007 Samuel Adams homebrew contest winner, this pale ale is light and refreshing, with a wheaty and grassy nose and just a hint of green grape. A little watered-down for my tastes, but the slight hint of green grape adds an interesting element.

Medium brown with nice white head, a nice looking brew. Sweet nose. Flavor is convoluted with some cheap sweetness and mild hop bitterness and mild hop flavor.. a useless brew that doesn’t work

One of the few fruit beers that is not completely offensive: the grape tones are not overdone, though there is a somewhat unwanted aftertaste; overall it’s a little light on beer and a little light on grape, so the brew doesn’t actually deliver what it promises; overall, it’s about middle of the road
