"Rejewvenator, Harvest to Harvest Ale, L'Chaim!, HE'Brew, the Chosen Beer. Year of the Grape, Half doppelbock, half Belgian style dubbel, Ale Brewed with all natural grape juice. Schmaltz Brewing, Limited Release, Sacred Species No. 3"
And then a ton of "Schtick" on the side, as per usual.
Hazed, purplish coloration, slim head, soon gone.
Aroma: grape and plum aplenty. Sweet malt. Not too much else.
Tasting it: brisk carbonation, minor hops, medium bodied, sweet, and then a little bit of sour. Grape's here, of course, plum, raisin. Mmmm.
But I'm not getting the doppelbock, really, or the dubbel. Not much from the malty flavor, too much from the grape. This needs a lot to make it any more of anything. Quite lifeless, missing any real …anything, really.
Did I get an old, bad bottle? Was this better before? It's rather unimpressive now.
Or is it just me?
