This American Fruit Tart is brewed with a vineful of Concord grapes and blueberries. A familiar tune, but with the unique Urban Artifact curiosity.

Can.

A- Light purple color, hazy liquid, light pink head.

A- Grape, blueberry, bright.

F- Grape, blueberry, tart.

T- Light body, average texture, medium carbonation, slightly sour finish.

O- Basically tasted like grape kool-aid with a hint of blueberry. Fairly sweet. Almost cider like. I didn't love it but I suppose I could see people being a fan of this one.

Pours hazy purple with a very small head. smells of concord grapes and blueberries. The flavor is mildly tart and quite sweet. Grapes. Definitely grapes.

Canned 9/4/25, drunk 3/9/26.
A bit more grape than blueberry, but it doesn't matter; both fruits smell well-done and authentic, without any excessive sugar or acid here. Fruity, juicy, rich, amplified by a good maltiness. No alcohol noted.
The fruit stands out as well-done here, as usual from UA. Malt is a little bit lighter than I'd prefer given the bigger abv. Far from thin or anything, but I don't think it quite supports the acidity the fruit is putting off. More of a crusty, lightly chewy, wheat-like character with zero sweetness. Fix the texture here and this would be sublime stuff.

Single from Beach Liquors. Mojito glass at home. Hazy, dusty, fizzy, pale grape pour. Sweet grape juice with a nice blueberry skin note. Serious grape drank. Somewhat sour, twangy, grape tannins, lemon, very light blueberry that gets sort of lost. Twangy, sour, a touch yeasty, very high acid, whatever abv. Kinda good if you don't want to drink Manischewitz
