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...

Pours a nice copper colour with an off white head. Aroma was medium malt, almost a flat ginger-ale aroma, some light herbal hoppiness. A bit flat tasting as well. Caramel maltiness balanced by a fruity bitterness.

Bottle pour. ALl the aromas and flavors of your typical pale ale, but without the proposed grape flavor or aroma. Clean crisp mouthfeel with a dryish finish that is reminiscent of grapes.

Dark golden with a large, frothy off-white head that is nicely lasting. Aroma is sweet with notes of honey, white pepper, and straw. First impression upon taking a sip is the palate, it is very velvety with a silky carbonation that is absolutely perfect. Flavor-wise - some raw straw, rye bread, lightly fruity hops and something "stale" towards the end - almost like soggy corn tortilla chips. Not really detecting much I’d associate with "grape", however.

Aroma brings delicate caramel malt notes with a touch of fruitiness, but nothing that is clearly a grape aroma. Flavor is lightly malty with a tart snap laying on the sides of the tongue. The only clue that there is grape in here is when you breathe out. Very subtle, but in a good way. Nice long lingering fruity finish.

Pours a clear ornage-gold colour with a thick frothy off-white head. The nose is very muted with some honey-sweet malts and no distinct notes of grapes to be detected. The flavour consists light malts, white grapes, earthy-sweetness and lager-like tones. The aftertaste leaves a slight lingering of honey and some vinous tones. The grapes are so subtle that I wouldn’t pick up on them without being told they are there. If I had entered the contest this year and lost to this POS I would be thoroughly insulted. The finish is medium dry and short. Eh.

Bottle: Clear dark gold flavor with a white head and runny lacing. Fruity aroma consisting mainly of malts. You definitely pick up on the green grapes. This brew tastes like a chardonnay crashed into a premium lager. Sweet flavors with a slight dry finish. Thanks BuckeyeBoy for bringing this one into the shop.
