Part of the Brewers Reserve Series.
Appearance - Pours a pale straw with two fingers of foamy white head.
Smell - white grape juice aromas, grassy and citrus malts, and hint of spicy hops.
Taste - A harmonious blend of white grape juice and grassy and citrus malts. The hint of spicy hops are somewhat present.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes crisp and dry with a lingering tingliness.
Overall - A unique twist to the blonde style by adding white grape juice to the mix. This is perfect for a hot summer day.

L-Honey yellow, nice white head that lingers.
S-Smells like pilsner and faintly like a field of wildflowers.
T-A little strange, mead-like honey notes, a bit of pinot gris middle, but all the rest is pilsner. Too much bitter residue.
F- Feels like mead, but not quite as evervescent.
O- interesting, I think it could stand to be more ambitious in its flavour profile. It is not quite interesting enough to balance the fact that it is not quite easy drinking.
