An oenobeer - a beer brewed with red grapes. Red grape flavour blends with crockery grainy flavour of malts. A hint of Nelson Sauvin adds citrus fruitiness along with tropical fruit character. Light tartness and a hint of tannin from hibiscus. Beautiful burgundy colour. Fairly light and easy drinking.

Purplish colour. No head. Ok, this sucks. Bad wine character. Bad beer character. Just fuck no. Worst beer-wine hybrid I have ever had. I mean this tastes like sucking manky water through a lipstick-stained straw. Brutal.

Poured from the tap @ P49. Clear-ish brown-ish red with small off-white head. Very feint grape skin with a bland base and no nelson character. Meh.

On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear dark red with a small off-pink head. Aroma has dry red grapes, some earthiness, no notice of the Nelson. Flavour is dry and grapey, with plenty of rather dry red grapes and some earthiness. The Nelson was totally wasted in here, as there's no hint of it whatsoever. Decent grape character but a profoundly mediocre and ambitionless beer.

Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear deep red with pinkish head. Aroma has sweet red grapes, a bit musty. Tastes like grape juice with more tannins, I guess.
