CBC Belgian Triple from Victory Brewing Company

This beer is part of Victory’s Craft Brewers Conference Draft Series. The 2013 CBC was held in Denver from Monday April 7 to Friday April 11. I’m sorry if you didn't get to try this limited edition beer, but if they put it back on tap, make the trip to Downingtown to try it.
Color:
clear golden, SRM ~5
ABV:
9.1%
Glass:
Weizen
Smell:
tart, grape with a slight sour, earthy smell
Taste:
This was a very tart beer. With strong grape flavors, the pale malt was well balanced. It had a crisp, dry aftertaste that was slightly tart. It wasn’t a heavy, long aftertaste and it made me want to drink more. There was a nice low-medium mouthfeel and the carbonation made it tickle my nose slightly, kind of like sparkling wine.
Rating:

I am really loving these “mixed” beers, sort of wine but still beer. The grape plays nice and tart across the tongue. I am really enjoying this years innovative summer beers.
