Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is very grape juice forward with an aroma similar to Welches white grape juice or grape popsicles. Light white wine and oak notes with even lighter tannins. Faint malt notes with hints of acidity. Pours a somewhat hazy, golden orange with a medium sized, thick, white head that recedes slowly but steadily to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a moderate acidity with a light sweetness to it and hints of grain. Light white wine and oak notes with hints of tannins. Moderate grape notes with a definite white grape juice character to it, though it also displays some grape candy flavors. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice grape sour with a unique flavor and aroma that a lot of the other grape sours don’t have. Whereas most grape sours come across as a cross between wine and beer, this tastes like a beer with grape flavors; something I am not used to. I am not sure how they got the grape flavors, but its not very wine-like.

Bottle thanks to Adam! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice dry tart grape with a good amount of funk, light oakiness and a light leaf notes. Flavor has an acid tart dry grape note with a decent amount of barrel and funk supporting and a hint of grain underlying.
