From memory, this was an amazing beer, not overly sweet, but jam packed with berries. It was probably a one-off that I will never see again and will haunt my memory.
16 oz can - thanks Adam!

This one pours a fairly absurd hazy purple color, with a small dark pink head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells like just slightly tart blackberries and currants, with not much else going on. This doesn't smell very sour or very complex, but it smells like a good but simplistic fruit beer.
The taste confirms my suspicions. There's very little tartness here, the large amount of fruit used seems to have nearly completely covered up any bacterial or wild yeast activity. The fruit itself is certainly delicious, though.
This one has a soft mouthfeel and a high level of drinkability, if you like the fruits involved.
This is quite simple, but still very tasty.

The appearance was a hazy purple color with just a film of a little white foamy head. Slid off into oblivion to leave no lace. The aroma had some strong sweet to tart blackberry up front and allowing some of the currants showcasing a slight quick sweet to tart to sour push pinching a little bit of floral and citrusy background to round it all out. The flavor seemed to bring the sweet to the tart to the sour and glide nicely into the aftertaste and follow through in the finish. The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping sort of quality about it. Had a good body to this one. ABV felt good. Carbonation felt good. Overall, one of those nice "fruited" sour ales with a sturdy body to it. Good to me and for now, but not quite sure how this would do in the middle of Summer.

Poured from the can into a wili becher.
Pours a crazy deep purple with one finger of lighter purple bubbly head.
Aromas are a lot of yeast and a lot of berries.
Flavor is light with very light tart sourness present and a good deal of dark fruit.
Mouthfeel was relatively dry and quenching.
Nicer beer and nice color. Would appreciate if the sourness could be ramped up.
