What is it: Wheat Ale brewed with the juice of Savingon-Blanc grapes.
Presentation: 750 mL bottle with a pop-top cap, poured into a heffe glass.
The pour: Extremely clear golden color, with an inch or so of head that is of a medium fine texture, little persistence and no lacing.
The nose: Wheat beer with a strong aroma of grape juice.
The palate: None of the typical Blue Moon Fruit Loops flavors are present here, instead you get a clear, crisp, slightly grape-y flavor, with the malt and the hops definitely down-played. On the other hand, it definitely tastes like a beer, rather than a wine. I am not sure how this is possible, but I do know that it is pretty strong--I am definitely feeling this review!
Pairs with: Anything that would normally pair with wheat ale or white wine. That is anything from burgers and fries to a fancy chicken or fish dinner.
Rating: *** of *****
