Mar 27, 2008 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.

Mar 19, 2008 bottle. I remember liking this one more at the GBAF. Descent Pale with a funky grape flavoring. It was odd and out of place. Hey, If I could brew it I’d have no problem drinking it. Congrats to the winner.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle: The aroma is a combination of raisins, grapes, grain, and grass...a pretty unpleasant combo in my opinion. It pours a bright transparent amber with a moderate soapy off-white head. Weird combination of caramel and raisin up front. Finishes moderately grainy and lightly grassy. The flavors just don’t mesh and the graininess is very unpleasant. Light bodied with with mild carbonation.

Apr 8, 2008 From a bottle poured amber with a good amount of head. Flavor of sweet malt with not much of a grape flavor. Flavored with molasses, and ending with a quick finish.

Feb 17, 2008 Updated: Mar 6, 2008Bottle from the sixer. The pour was golden in color, nice head and lacing, fairly typical, though for a PA. The aroma was grapes, sweetness, maybe a touch of wheat. The flavor was mostly grapes, light grassy hops, and some grains. Overall, the grape flavor was somewhat extract-y, not a killer great beer, but ok. Meh.

Mar 21, 2008 Very sweet pale ale.. this stuff is kind of a mess. Typical Sam Adams sweet sticky malts with some flavors of grape-skins, but not merged in a congruent way. Nice idea... bad execution.

Feb 27, 2008 Not very good. Pretty weak flavor. A little bit of grape sweetness, but I am not really tasting any fruitiness. Light bodied, pale lager taste. Drinkable. My beer is way better than this.

Jan 21, 2009 330ml rich amber with a slight haze and the best head i’ve seen in a long time. Poupori of aromas, fruitsalad, wafers and a malt sweetness. Not sure I get the grape thing - maybe grapes imported in to NZ are different? A rich fullness in the mouthfeel, sweet but other notes that defy description. Grapes & maple syrup - only in America huh?
