Can. Purple with a mauve head. Yes, smells like grapes and grape bubblegum with some wheaty twang behind. And the impression goes on into the taste. There's enough sourness that it's not cloyingly sweet and the bubblegum flavour doesn't quite overwhelm the beer or taste unnatural (whatever that means). Clever indeed but wouldn't have a second time.

375 ml can into schooner glass. Thanks to Beer Cartel and Ratebeer. Identical smell to a Singaporean soft drink (groovy Grape) and an Asian beer (Taiwan Beer Grape) I've had previously. Yep big artificial grape aroma (and colour). Luckily tastes much better than either of those Asian offerings. Tart, easy drinking Berliner with the artificial grape only really noticeable in the lingering finish. Drinkable but not really my thing. I've always read that in summer in Berlin they add fruit flavourings to their Weisses so I guess this is traditionally correct. One is enough.

Can. Guava colour. Artificial grape nose. Delivers on the promise. Mimics grape bubblegum. Alas that doesn't make for a pleasant beer. No real sourness. Sickly sweet.
