This is a bit of a let down, not that its bad, but after having the Barrique Vitis Concord twice last year, I was hoping for something like that. First, this is barely sour. Like only a hint of tart. Nose is dough, light grape juice, light grain. Looks nice with a deep purple color and faint pink-purple head that fades quickly. Lightly tart, semi-dry, and a surprising hop bitterness at finish that really doesn't mesh well with the rest of the beer. This tastes a lot like a simple american wheat with grape juice added, and the tartness comes from the grape juice rather than any fermentation characteristic. This is an overly critical review for a beer that is decent. The grape element is nice, the base beer is alright. But really, that's it, it is just the sum of its parts. Cans from Publix Oviedo FL

Single from TJs Asheville. Lo-ball @home. Hazy, dark strawberry or plum, iced-tea sort of pour. Tea, sour grape, blonde ale, raspberry vinegar nose. Berry skin, apple core, grassy bitter, thin, berry tartness, lingering astringency. Non-descript, half flat, good acid, tolerable abv. Decent.

16oz can from Total Wine and More, St Petersburg. Bluish purple and clear-ish with a ring of pink head. Light grape and dark Berry aroma. Sweet with light sourness and a short to medium finish. Decent carbonation on the watery body. More like alcoholic grape juice or weak communion wine than a beer, but not altogether bad.

Not face-puckering in its sourness, so the restraint is nice, but the grape notes come across almost too subtle, giving way to strong citrus-berry tart notes with concord coming through on the fade. Not sweet, which is good. Still, could use a little more complexity; I’d love to try a barrel-aged version.

16oz can pours a translucent purple with some clumpy, pinkish head. Nose has plenty of red and pink grapes, lemon too, light funk. Flavor has more lemon and more funk, the grape is more a natural wine flavor now, blood orange too. Medium bodied with an acetic kick behind the teeth.

Mekelberg's, Brooklyn tap: pours grapey red with a small head. Aroma is grape juice. Taste is sour grape juice. It is not bad, but it is just that.

This beer is a clear maroon-purple color with a medium thin pinkish-white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of grape juice and yeast. Medium body with flavors of mildly tart grapes, yeast and a bit of doughy malt. The finish is sweet-tart concord grape jelly. Above average overall.

16 oz. can shared by Stacey. For pink head on a hazy purple liquid. Aroma is all Welches grape juice. Flavor shows Welches grape juice with a mild tart finish. Yeah, to me it tastes like watered down grape juice.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear light red with a near pink head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grape and a bit of a wine note with light grains underlying. Flavor has earthy grape and wine with a bit of grain underlying.
