Slushy XL - Blooberry
450 North Brewing Company

 

Pours a rich burgundy-blue with a grist and viscosity to the liquid that makes it look very similar to a blueberry smoothie. There is just half a finger of pink foam that rises to the top, making the whole thing look more smoothie-like than beer. Pretty wild. Aroma is rich blueberry that is quickly cut by heavy lactose and creamer. A little rum and dank round out the nose. Flavor profile is blueberry, pineapple, lactose and creamer with alcohol that tastes more rum derived than beer. No tartness, leaning just a touch sweet throughout. Mouth feel is full and dense with a consistent grist that, again, feels more like drinking a blueberry smoothie than beer. Overall, really a wild beer. It hits blueberries hard and delivers across the board in being tasty and novel.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 16oz can.
