GABF 09. Pours a light dull golden with a fizzy head. Aroma is metallic, overly sweet- DMS, fruity, chardonnay must, skins and old off white wine. Flavor is slick and sweet, grapeskin, chemical, dms- unfermented grape juice as well as sweet malt extract twang- ugh.

Sample at GABF 2009. Pours a clear yellow to golden color with thin white head. Aroma is bread, wheat, yeast, fresh wine, light citrus, honey. Flavor is about the same. Light to medium body with a watery finish.

On tap at GABF 2009. Girlfriend wanted to try this. Clear pale golden-yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is white wine, spice, grain, and citrus. Flavor is, well, a lot like chardonnay. White wine stands out, fairly sweet but not overly so, with some light fruit notes and a little grain and spice. Finishes a little dry and crisp with medium-light body. Not too bad, better than regular Blue Moon for sure.

Tap at Studio Square. Very pale golden-straw coloured beer. Creamy white head. The nose is almost non-existent. Just a light kiss of straw and a fairly bright citrusy tartness that I can only assume is coming from the grapes. Very light but I can’t say it is uninteresting. Tart and a little bit fruity, but the fruit seems vineous and quite attenuated. It really does come across like a mix of light wheat beer and crisp tart white wine... which isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured fruity and hoppy with a crisp slightly dry and creamy malt finish.

Hand bottle shared by hellbilly at his holiday tasting. Spicey grain aroma. Yellow body with white head. Grainy flavor with hint of spice and a touch of maybe lemon think it says. Blah in bigger letters think someone else wrote that on my paper.

don’t ask me where i got it... i’m not even sure i was supposed to have it! clear yellow pour with a slight white head. this smells and tastes like a glass of chardonnay mixed with a cheap pale lager (cereal grain and white grapes)... kind of a wine shandy? not great but interestingly unique. anyway, it feels more or less like wine with carbonation...weird. 6/3/5/3/13/3.0

Bottle shared by hellbilly at his holiday tasting. Lightly hazy yellow color pour with a thin head. Aroma of malt and white wine. Flavor is just like the aroma. Though not fantastic, I am happy Josh convinced himself to share this. I’m not worthy! Thanks sir!

Hand bottle shared by hellbilly at his holiday tasting. Pours clear yellow with a thin white head. The nose is fruity grapes and malt. The taste is white grapes and malt. OK beer. Thanks for sharing this one off Joshua!

(Draught) Pours a lightly hazy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of sweet chardonnay and cereal. Flavor resembles a light lager mixed with a bottle of Chardonnay...
