Samuel Adams LongShot Grape Pale Ale

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Red copper color with frothy white head. Soft fruit nose with some hops. Flavor is some bright grape mixed with a very basic pale ale.

Not bad. Pours clear lighter gold with a big white head. Caramel malt and white grapes in the nose. Not a bad taste, very light. Metallic taste with bitter malt and sweet grapes. Worth trying.

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,

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

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.

This is pretty underwhelming. Pours copper with a pillow beige head. The aroma has muddied malt, odd fruit that doesn’t seem like grape, dust and some maple syrup. Medium crisp body at first then a syrupy slickness that seems odd for something with this light of a body. The taste is strange with maple syrup taking center stage. There is also some caramel malt and a hint of spice. The finish has some phenolic spice. This is interesting in description and may be okay as a homebrew fresh as can be, but as a mass market beer this doesn’t work for me at all. It sounded like it might be interesting, but didn’t deliver.

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.

Poured a clear yellow-gold with a small head. Aroma is a bit corny...no grape at all. Flavor is not at all like biting into a grape. More like a sweet ale with some musty notes. Not offensive but really pretty mediocre.
