I split a bottle of this beer with my buddy at his house. This beer was VERY good in my opinion. What made it great is that the hops were so hidden ... something that had to be done to make the flavor of the grapes the dominant profile. A nice job. I'd have this again. Color is stunning too - pretty beer.

pours strikingly blood red color,like wine, a pastel pink head tops the beer but disappears quickly. The aroma has an initial whiff of wine, digging deeper reveals dusty, dry yeast intricacies with a touch of spice and soft wheat finish. The taste is like the aroma is a wine, which carries over into the flavor nicely. The subtle base of malt and wheat is all but overlapped by grape juice that directly reflects the type of wine it produces, not a generic "grape" flavor while faint yeast pokes through the finish with a touch of dry spice. The mouthfeel was medium/light body with a high carb and a crisp finish.

Very similar to the "Proximity" except cabernet grapes are added. They are responsible for the color, aroma and slight flavor. There really isnt anything else. Like my last review, this is wine mixed with bland wheat beer and nothing else.
