Xul Beer Company PB&J Mixtape: Grape
Gluten Free 6.5 º
This Alternative Grain Beer evokes pure nostalgia, blending the jammy sweetness of Concord grapes with the savory, roasted depth of peanut butter. Built on a gluten-free grain base, it presents a complex sensory profile where rich, nutty oils meld with a sharp lactic acidity. The aroma is dominated by grape jelly and toasted peanuts, leading into a thick, smoothie-like palate. Despite the unconventional ingredients, the character of the alternative grains provides a subtly bready foundation that supports the intense fruit and nut additions, finishing with a lingering, sweet-and-salty jamminess that feels remarkably like its namesake sandwich.
Appearance. Opaque, deep violet to royal purple hue. Pours with a dense, mauve-tinted head that fades quickly to a thin collar due to peanut oils, leaving minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; immediate notes of Concord grape preserves and sweet grape juice. Secondary aromas of freshly roasted peanuts and toasted peanut skins. Subdued bready graininess from the gluten-free base and a clean, lactic tartness.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of sweet grape jam followed quickly by a savory, creamy peanut butter mid-palate. Hop bitterness is non-existent. The acidity is moderate, providing a crisp counterpoint to the sugary fruit. The finish is long and jammy, with a slight salty-sweet grain character and no hop flavor.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a lush, creamy, and slightly pulpy texture from the fruit purée. Moderate carbonation. A subtle oily coating from the peanut butter lingers on the tongue, though the lactic acidity prevents a cloying sensation.
