Nov 8, 2009 Color is a clear caution-light yellow/orange. Thin 1/4 finger of head. No carbonation to be seen.
The smell has hints of sweet and dark berry. Smooth honey. Darker notes of grape; sweet but rich. Aromatic berry wafting above the glass. No pale malt to speak of, per se.
The taste is slightly sour grape, with a richer dark second wave. Hints of juicy grape, balanced by some dry pale and crystal malts.
Medium bodied feel; leaves a juice-like coating on the tongue. Actually quite nice. It’s a highly drinkable, berry-laden brew. Not overly sweet. It’s just dark enough.

Jun 18, 2009 The pour is orange-ish pink-ish hued. The head is white and sudsy. The aroma is slight hoppy with sweet characteristics... The only reason you think there may be a grape aroma is due to the name. The beer is pretty high in carbonation, light. the grape flavor is dry and crisp. The finish is not as sharp as I would like, and there is a touch of lingering aftertaste. I’m not a fruit beer guy....

May 29, 2009 Bottle. An amber body with an off white head. Thin with a fruity grape start with some subtle woodiness and caramel malt. Mmm SA never makes great fruit beers, im sure this was much better small batch.

Apr 29, 2009 Strange and exactly what it says. Grape juice flavored beer. A bit sweet and odd tasting. Not much balance just sweet grape and fruit sugars.

Mar 30, 2009 murky brown body with a thick long lasting cream colored head. nose is malt, like sticking my nose in a mash tun. very sweet flavor that i enjoy. caramel flavor dominates in a good way. a bit of green grape is there in the finish. love the sweetness.
