Bottled. Beer is clear, medium-hued, strawberry-brown. Head is initially large, white, frothy. Rapidly and mostly diminishes.<P>The aroma is malty with moderate notes of slightly husky toasted grain, lighter note of cookie; Hoppy with a moderate herbal note; Yeasty with a light note of basement; Light note of fake grape candy flavor, tropical fruit, metallic trace.<P>The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately acidic (roundly sour), lightly bitter with a long, lightly bitter, lightly acidic finish. Metallic aftertaste in the pockets of the cheeks.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>Don’t like the fake fruit note, don’t like the sickly acidic hump in the flavor.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours amber with nice sized brown head. Light hint of hops with some sweet notes from the malt. Flavor has some grape, but not the hit I thought. Really sweet with more caramel notes than grape.

Aug 4, 2008 12oz Bottle: Pours clear amber w/ a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet malts w/ a touch of hops. Reminds me of an English Ale, very caramelly aroma. Caramel flavor w/ a nice little hop presence towards the end & a slightly dry finish. I don’t quite get putting this beer in the fruit category. English Pale Ale, yes. Fruit, not so much.

Aug 3, 2008 I was unimpressed with this beer. It poured a clear amber colour with a small white head. aroma was slightly floral, with no grape taste- even though i tried my hardest to find it. Strong caramel and very reminiscent of a pale lager.

Jul 26, 2008 Wow, this is horrid. Why even put out such a mess? I don’t even know how to decribe this other than to say it doesn’t even taste like beer.

Jul 26, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours amber with a thin fizzy, white head. Smells malty and slight, sweet grapey. Tastes caramelly malty throughout, the grape flavor doesn’t kick in until the finish. Medium body, ok carbonation.
