Mar 22, 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. Pretty rough.

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.

Mar 21, 2008 I’m about half way through a glass and so far I’m thinking - no! It does have an interesting aroma - you can catch a hint of the grape but it’s not overpowering. The taste isn’t quite there though. Not terrible, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Mar 20, 2008 This beer is an interesting Idea but just didn’t live up to the name. The bottle poured into a pint glass produce a good two finger worth of head that settles down to a film of lace. All this on top of a hazy golden body
Smells like a pale ale poured into a glass that just had some white wine in it
It’s sweet, extremely pale, pale ale I guess I was hoping for more of a grape presence here or something. I think the name did that along with the description on the bottle. It wasn’t a drain pour; its taste wasn’t all that memorable either
Light bodied, with plenty of carbonation for your tongue
I did finish the three I had but I wouldn’t buy it again there are better pale ales and better fruit beers out there ( I wish the Weizenbock was sold separately )

Mar 19, 2008 Bottle - pours a nice copper color with faint grape hints in the aroma. Light bodied and almost refreshing. With definite hints of grape in the flavor. Not bad at all.

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.

Mar 18, 2008 Smells faintly of bitter hops, very faint sour notes, like grape skins. Taste is very mediocre pale ale followed by a very faint...something. I wouldn’t call it grape but its different. Not very good
