Welp, it looks like I’m back on my smoothie Sour bullshit again. If seems like once a month now I feel the need to dip into this hyped up style. This one is at least an interesting combination of dark fruits, and it sounds quite good to me. Let’s crack it open

Pours an opaque pinkish purple with a finger of dark pink head that fades to a thin cap and leaves minimal streaky lacing

This is definitely sweeter in the aroma instead of tart. I’m picking up on aromas of overripe pum, vanilla bean, graham cracker, blueberry skin, and light doughy malt

There’s a more defined tartness in taste improving a bit. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting tart blueberry, black currant, raspberry, marshmallow, vanilla bean, and light blackberry. The swallow brings notes of sweet plum, graham cracker, vanilla, tart blueberry, lemon juice, and black currant

A full body pairs with gentle creamy carbonation resulting in a thick beer. Finishes surprisingly dry for the style

As far as this style goes this one is very good. A nice balance of tart and sweet white remaining relatively dry

Viscous blood red to mauve with a short pastel pink to purple head that quickly dies to a thin ring leaving clear pulpy film on the glass. Here's another Drekker can with a substantial heft to it POST-pour.

This one gives me marshmallow vibes despite there not being any. It must be that vanilla bean. Overall, taste is like an avalanche of blueberry pie filling on a moon pie. However, with a few more sips, the currant does cut in to sharpen and brighten the decadence with little herbal acid.

Despite being roundly viscous up front, it thins out towards the finish, and even dries up a little. Still, it's fairly sweet, nearing cotton candy bubblegum, but not quite.
