Gose with Red Grape Juice from Baxter Vineyards, IL. We brewed this beer with grapes that are normally reserved for wine! The combination of pale malt, a tart kettle sour, and ripe fresh grapes harvested right before brewing, is something really special with subtle hints of another fermentation tradition - wine! We have brewed a grape gose in the past - but this is the first time we are using red grapes!

Grape Smoosh from Pipeworks Brewery. Received 11/2/20 from @FBarber in a LIF in BIF 12. Reviewed 11/13/20.
Undated 16 oz can. Stored at home at 42 degrees and served at 45 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. Final temperature 52.8 degrees.
Appearance – 4.
First pour – Pale straw (SRM 2), hazy.
Body – Straw (SRM 3), murky and opaque. When held to direct light, same but lazy effervescence evident.
Head – Large (Maximum 6.2 cm, aggressive center pour), off white, high density, average retention, diminishing to a three to four mm crown and a thick rocky complete cap. Some pieces of foam remain on the sides after the head has retracted. Second pour generates a dense 1.8 cm head.
Lacing – Excellent! Forms a wide, mostly solid, band of tiny white bubbles
Aroma – 3 – Salty and slightly sour. No malt, no hops, no yeast, no grape.
Flavor – 3 – Begins refreshing and slightly tart. No malt, no hops, no yeast, no grape. No alcohol (4.6% ABV, as marked on container) taste or aroma. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl.
Palate – 4 – Medium, watery, soft carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.25 (After deducting 0.25 point for undated container) Other than a bit of salt and tartness, no other aroma and flavors are found. Looks good, feels good, flavor and aroma not so good. Did someone accidentally put a Pipeworks label on an ABInbev product?

Very light and I feel it needed more grape flavor.
