341ml bottle. Made with rice, buckwheat, black currant, cherry, raspberry, elderberry, apple, pear, and plum juice. Wow, that's a metric Quebec tonne of fruit!
This beer pours a clear, bright magenta colour, with one skinny finger of weakly foamy, and very fizzy pale pink head, which leaves little beyond a few wayward pricks of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells very much like Swedish berries - that candy bin staple of grocery and convenience stores alike - an uncertain fruity cooler maltiness, a subtle, but growing vegetal astringency, cheap sugar additives, and plastic phenols. The taste is some much-lessened mixed red berry fruit, a rising vegetal and acrid grainy, er, 'malt', metallic artificial sweetener, musty earthy yeast, and a thankfully wispy plastic solvent, well, note.
The bubbles are quite frothy, and more than a tad fizzy, the body barely, but just, in the southern realm of medium weight, and more smooth than I might have expected, though with too many vacillating influences to denote here. It finishes still a bit fruity, in both natural and unnatural ways, with the lingering maltiness definitely leaning heavily towards the latter.
I guess all you have to do to bring your shitty GF brew out of the dregs, to a barely average, but still relatively improved state, is dump a bunch of Canada Cooler-worthy fruit all over things. The rather numerous and different fruits who gave themselves to this offering are like a mask, something merely temporarily obfuscating the horrors underneath. Oink, oink, where's that lipstick?
