Strangest beer i have ever poured. Greyish purple. Like grape drink in a regular lager. Very interesting.

A: Pours a semi-opaque, semi-transparent purple in color (very similar to Gatorade G2 Grape) with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint grey + lavender colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall fizzy foamy very pale lavender head that quickly reduces to a few medium sized patches of thin film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of cereal grain malts as well as rice adjuncts with minimal amounts of grainy sweetness. Very light aromas of grassy hops + floral notes as well as light to moderate aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of cereal grain malts as well as rice adjuncts with minimal amounts of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of lager yeast + floral notes. Finally there are light flavors of grassy hops which contribute a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving a clean finish.

M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a crisp refreshing mouthfeel though the appearance is a little off-putting as it looks like I'm drinking a carbonated grape Gatorade. Enjoyable.
