Twice The Daily Serving is a Berliner Weisse with an enormous addition of blackberry and pomegranate. Tastes like a delicious creamy mouthful of Pom juice.

Canned on 5/20/20
Pours a near-viscous blackish purple body capped with a finger of fluffy, tight, dark pink foam; sub-par head retention yields a fading cap, moderate frothy collar, and a light spatter of dense, webby lacing around the glass.
Aroma shows soft musty wheat and blackberry smoothie contrasting upfront into underlying tones of residual sugars and lactic acidity into the middle; pomegranate seeds begin to show in the back end of the bouquet, along with candy-like hints of Starbursts.
Taste opens with a wave of sugary, fruit nectar-soaked wheat, edging into composting blackberry and blackberry soda toward the mid-palate; pomegranate kefir builds throughout the back end, with a lactic finish and awkward edge of herbal, almost hoppy funk through the swallow.
Mouthfeel brings a viscous and jammy fuller body along with minimal carbonation and a mild-moderate overall acidity; a soft, tart peak crosses the mid-palate, becoming increasingly juicy, and even slightly savory, into the finish; a subdued, gritty tartness presents through the swallow.
Though muted in some spots and largely over-fruited throughout, I genuinely don't find this to be that bad of a beer, albeit maybe too muddled of a Berliner; if anything, this is more of an outright fruit beer, showcasing denser, jammier notes as opposed to a more nuanced tartness and wheat. Ultimately, it is definitively imperfect, sure, and yet not impossible to enjoy.

Poured from a 16oz can into a tulip glass
Look: Opaque thick blood red with lots of particulate matter in it with a blood foam head. I mean this thing looks like straight up blood.
Smell: Thick but muted notes of pomegranate, blackberry, slight salty acidity, and some
wheat poking through.
Taste: Sharp tartness with a flash of slay on the attack the it all pomegranate juice. I mean every aspect of pomegranate juice straight to the finish. There might be a hint of pink starburst in there.
Feel: Extremely thick. Like a fruit smoothie thick. Light plus acidity. No alcohol. Slight carbonation.
Overall: More of a fruit smoothie than a beer but in the best way. Drinks so smooth. Half my glass was gone before I knew it. Pushes the envelope. Wild.
