Braaaaaaaains - Blackberry, Lemon, Apricot pours a dark purple, with a tiny, long-lasting, lacing head. The aroma is big, fresh blackberries on lemons. The flavor is very creamy, sweet, vanilla base, with lots and lots of blackberry and lemon. Good creamy feel. Overall, lots of sweet fruit on a thick base.

Drekker Blackberry/Lemon/Apricot BRAAAAAAAAins Double Fruit Smoothie Sour, 5.8% ABV. Pours thick and opaque maroon with a one-finger pink head that left puree residue. Nose is blackberry, lemon, and vanilla. Taste follows, with lemon up-front and shading the apricot, equally sweet and tart, with salt on the close. Decent thick and creamy mouthfeel, overall excellent.

A - Opaque body, maroon with minimal pinkish-white head, minimal lacing, but a wisp of a cap that persists.
S - Bright hit of lemony fruit, berry, with a butter crust note - it smells like a piece of pie.
T - It tastes like a piece of berry pie, with a granola aspect. The apricot comes through with lemon notes in the middle, and the apricot tarries through the close.
M - Substantial but not cloying, with a full, coating mouthfeel, and just a bit of tartness in the finish.
O - A lovely dessert-like brew, with superb fruit flavors, and a well-built point-counterpoint that delivers a lush, full drink.

16oz can. Packaging date stamp on can bottom reads ' CANNED ON 06/30/23'.
Murky, muddy, beet red colored body. The pour produces a little pinkish head, which disappears. Leaves an even coating of dark red puree.
Aroma yields lemon and berry (blackberry). Not appearing is apricot or any stone fruit.
Taste is at first lemon and vanilla, and then the blackberry comes on. Just a tiny bit of apricot at the end and in the aftertaste. Candy sweet, and a little tart.
Thick mouth feel. Lemon and lactic tart. Carbonation produced a short lasting head, but no bubbling thereafter.
Well done for what it is. Good balance of sweet to tart, and authentic flavors.
