Pours cherry red, the color of cough syrup. Pleasant aroma, that of gra[e soda and candy. Kind of lightly tart with a sort of seltzy bubble underlying it. I think I taste more raspberry, but the blueberry and vanilla is coming through underneath it. I get it. It's a little weird and artificial, but easy enough to drink.
Might be the last Platform beer, so that's something, I guess.

Aggressively sour hides the ABV pretty well not really pushing toward blueberry more sour raspberry and lemon. I think I paid a bit too much for this variant and doesn't seem as good as the Red Martian which is straight up raspberries.

Lol my first hypebeast brew since I've been here. Unfortunately I'm not too surprised, this isn't bad its just the sourness covers whatever attempt at blueberry and cream they had in mind. Taste is a lot better than the smell though. Goes down pretty easy still, it's okay. There's better examples of this smoothie thing. Guess at least none of the cans are underfilled lol

Platform just cant seem to get it going. The website is useless, the beer is poor to mediocre.
This beer is just awful! Its so sour I can't figure out what the fruit flavor is and the website doesn't say.
I gave it a while to settle it lost a bit of the sour. It reminds me of an infected beer.

Thank you LloydDobler for this
16 oz, dated 1/7/21, poured into a pint glass
A- Purple with a small pinkish head
S- Tart blue raspberry hard candy, hints of vanilla, some grape soda.
T- Tart, raspberry, some blueberries, touch of vanilla, some grape soda, an odd/out of place earthy/lactose finish.
M- Smooth, light to medium body.
O- Slightly artificial in the taste and finish isn’t the best, but it’s still a fun beer and easy to drink. ABV is very well hidden.

Served in a tulip glass
This beer pours deep purple and murky. It is topped with a fleeting pinkish purple head that leaves little lacing.
The smell is tart and has blueberry up front with some vanilla.
Blueberry comes at me first. I get some sweetness from the vanilla. Then a tart finish.
Medium bodied with a semidry mouthfeel
I am apprehensive when it comes to Platform beers. This one was a pleasant surprise. It hit all the described flavor elements and was tart and refreshing.

Fully not intending to ever have any more Platform again, a friend of mine that sells their shit brought the can over and PEER PRESSURE! What the hell though.
It smells terrible when you spill it all over your clothes, but is otherwise a pretty juicy, tart and tangy Berliner with a somewhat toasty malt and plenty of berries.
It's not the most expressive purple beer but I'm not going to hate it. I'm just not giving them any more of my money. They were pretty meh before, but now they're ABINBEV meh.
