Bottled. More of a windy grape than a sweet grape mixed with a Sour. Ok but kind of hard to deal with.

Some lime, and a little grape must. Kind of a white wine thing. Murky orange pour with ok head. Rather sour finish. Bottle from mixed six pack from a couple of years ago.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with an ultra-thin and barely there, layer of a white head that barely covers the top. Aroma of grapes, lactose, sour-kettled malts with a dose of lemons and light yeast notes, but nothing assertive or pungent by any means. Light-bodied; Strong grassy flavours at first with some grape jam, a touch of dry malts and hay flavours with a dry finish showing some sweetness and almost a cleanser-like flavour throughout. Aftertaste shows the grasses, another set of hay and pungent flavours with the bitterness persisting and ending with a lightly sweet and barely soured finish. Overall, a light, but still flavourful beer that shows a lot of the dryed, soured flavours with only a touch of the sweetness perceptable from this one, but the dry and grassy flavours remain as well. Nice to sample, and decent smelling at first, but this quite simply is not as good as most others in this style, despite having a great smell! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Shopper's Food Warehouse on S Graham Road in Falls Church, Virginia on 11-September-2017 for US$15,99/twelve pack, sampled at my house in Washington on 21-October-2018.

12 ounce bottle thanks to hershiser2. Clear golden, thin creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of tart grape, grape stems, lacto, pale malt. The taste is tart grapes, lemon, candied lemon, pale malt. Medium bodied, lingering tartness, decent balance.
