1st review here on BA. Had this at the Strange Brew festival on May 18, 2019. Drake's brought two of the more "normal" beers that day, this was one of them. Pours a hazy yellow, amazing head retention on the 3/4" white head. One of the best looking hazies I've ever seen. Aroma pushed on the white grape notes nicely in tandem with the hops, gave off a varied amount of smells from proprietary hop juiciness to the musty grape push and the weed like terpenes. Pretty cool.

Taste, yeah man, everything that was in the nose pushed weight on the tongue. Moderate bitterness, this isn't a wet juicy slush of some NE dimensions, this has a little bit of everything from all the ipa sub-genres. I went back for a second pour of this one, was one of my favorite beers of the day. Reminded me of a New Glarus beer or two that uses grape must. Very well placed, scored for both unique points and the fact that it wasn't just unique, it was also good. Really hope they can put this one into production.
