Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours a murky plum color and topped with a couple inches of tan head that coats the side of the glass as consumed.
It smells like grape jelly. I got some marshmallow smell initially, but the grape jelly overcame the adversity.
Very sweet flavor of grape jelly. The peanut butter is more in the aftertaste along with faint marshmallow.
Medium bodied with a thinner mouthfeel than I was expecting.
If you like concord grape jelly, then this is the beer for you!

Pairing as well as peanut butter and jelly, 450 North finds their next inspiration for smoothie-styled sour ale in... well... peanut butter and jelly.
Slushy XL PB & Jellyfish pours into the glass with a rusty purple coat on the glass. pouring almost like pudding, the visual consistency and patient pull of froth is both dense and slow. And its sweet grape scent of stewed fruit, candy stores and pastry shops carry a creamy scent in unapologetic fashion. Jammy sweet with its very first sip, a dense marshmallow-like flavor is creamy, cereal-like and plump with cereal and pie filling.
Those bready and sweet flavors carry the essence of grape jelly and grape soda to nearly pin-point perfection, but a complement of citrusy tartness offers a slim reprieve from the simplicity of candy coated flavor. Trending tart to add a faint balance to the creamy sweetness, the late palate trends playfully tangy, lightly bitter and vinous with red wine.
Plush, pillowy and rife with all-things-grape candy, this a very un-beer-like experience. It probably needed to be served with a spoon as its basically alcoholic hubba bubba bubble gum and not at all what most adults want when stepping up to the bar.
