Had this at the brewery just before Christmas, and it seemed less grapey and more beer-like than I remembered.

Pours a rich gold with a white head that dropped to a film and left spots of laces on the side of the glass. The rich malty aroma is very fruity with prominent grape notes mixing in with caramel, bread and mineral. Quite bready flavour, with a slightly sweet, floral middle, and a grape juice finish that feels a bit out of place and reminds me of a rubberised kids toy. Medium mouthfeel with a bit of stickiness, and a moderate carbonation.

Decent beer, but a strange finish to it. Enjoyable enough for a pint, but there's better ones on tap right now.

On tap at Volo.

Pours a lightly hazy yellow gold, very thin white head forms, settles to a thin collar, some lace spots stick.

Smell is weird, very fruity, grape juice, honey, some wheat, grass, a bit of floral, unlike any other festbier I've had.

Taste is similar, overwhelming grape flavour, honey, floral, more grapes, a bit muddy, really strange.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Not quite sure what to make of this. Awful for the style, and pretty weird regardless.

On tap at Volo. Cloudy medium yellow body with a whisp of Caesar head, and slight lace. A drinkable beer, with average mouthfeel, and carbonation right there. Neutral aroma. The taste comes to a fruity bitterness that is pleasant and makes one sit up and take notice.
