Notes:

Pours 2.5 fingers of pillowy foam, yellow in color. Aroma is green grape forward with grain and a touch of sulfur at the end. Flavor is about the same though the grain malt flavor dominates and the grape plays in with the sulfur barely noticed; similar to Pilsner Urquell to me. Body is medium and a little sharpness in the carbonation. Overall, it's an okay beverage, not something that I would turn to all the time as it's like a pilsner with a unique grape edge. 3 stars.
