From a tall can sampled May 5, 2023.
The appearance is golden with no head but good clarity.
The blackberries are profound in the aroma with a lower profile breaded graininess and no notable alcohol.
Light to medium average mouthfeel.
The blackberry characters appear up front in the taste but seem less forward than the aroma would suggest. The tartness is more approachable for somebody like me who is not a fan of sours.

On-tap 12/14/2021 at Arigna’s in North Providence, RI, served in a becker pint glass.
A: The beer is a bright pinkish purple color, with a large light pink head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains tart blackberries and vert light malts, but not much else.
T: The taste likewise starts out with a strong tart blackberry flavor that dominates but is not over-powering. There are touches of salt and wheat. The malt character is very light but provides a good balance for the style. The after-taste is slightly tart.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, light body, medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not filling at all, very mild kick, good representation of style. This is a solid sour beer to drink for a while, if you like the tart blackberry flavor.

Canned 9/18/20
Why do I keep coming back to this series? None of them are stellar, and some are just mehh. But, they're relatively cheap and simple, and usually quite refreshing so I give them a go when I see them
Pours an opaque pinkish orange with a finger of white head that quickly fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing
The aroma has a bit more funk to it than others in the series. The sweet blackberry is at the forefront, and supported by notes of guava, lemon, wheat, and a touch of hay. Nothing too outrageous but still interesting
The taste starts off with sweet and lightly tart blackberry and lemon, with a touch of pepper and some wheat. The swallow ramps up the tartness of the berries, bringing forth notes of underripe blackberry, strawberry, and lime, along with a soft yet dry malt
This has a light medium body and gentle carbonation to move it along, which results in a slightly tart refreshing beer. Finishes a bit sticky, but does not ruin the experience
This was pretty good, sessionable for sure. Might be the best I've had in the series yet
