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...

Just drank this swill. This is a decent bitter pale with some grape juice added. Sorry I called it swill, but It just did not taste very good. Sweet malts, light bitterness, grape sweetness. meh.

Pours a clear copper with a fizzy head and spotty lace. Aroma is lightly sweet caramel, bready grains, grapes and yeasty. Flavor is toasted malt with some grape and dark fruit. Thin mouth feel, sweet fruity finish. I must say this was better than I was expecting.

Poured a deeper and clear golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of grains, grass, light caramel, and some grapes. Tastes of caramel, citrus, and a berry / grapiness. Good experiment but not quite delicious.

This wasn’t as bad as I expected. A little thin but drinkable. Aroma is of a pale lager with a weak grape smell. Taste brings out the aroma of grape more than just smelling it.

12oz bottle-pours a rich offwhite head with copper color. Aroma is caramel-medium malt, secondary earthy hops, light/medium fruit. Taste is balanced caramel-medium malt, earthy/spicey hops, light/medium fruit. OK/mild carbonation.

You know, I don’t think this beer is as terrible as a lot of people have said. This is definitely my personal opinion as I tend to like lighter beers with a slight amount of citrus/fruit scent or flavor to them. This one came out of the LongShot mix pack and poured very flat with just a ring of head. An all around typical pale ale with just a small amount of grape fruitiness and tartness. Smooth, goes down easy with just a slight amount of biting hops and grape tartness. This definitely isn’t the best fruit beer ever produced, but it’s good, light, refreshing and sometimes beers like this are good ones to enjoy. Props to Lili.

12 oz. bottle. This one’s a mess. Lots of interesting flavors, but they don’t blend well. At all. Interesting concept, horrible execution.

It wasn’t so bad. I only tasted the grape after I had a few. I probably wouldn’t get it again though. I drank this out of the bottle.
