Look: Ruby / burgandy body with creamy colored fluffy head that lingers quite well
Smell: Hops, floral, berry/apple/grape, slight astringency/tartness
Taste: Forward hoppiness that is sweetened up by the malt and the berry flavoring. I get blackberry on the aftertaste, minus the seeds thankfully!
Feel: Kinda slick, light/medium body, somewhat lively carbonation but not popping
Overall: An easy drinking beer, not a hop bomb or melt the enamel off your teeth, pretty refreshing on a hot day. Would not turn down but also probably would not go on the hunt for it either!

A-pours a cloudy brownish purple color with an off white head with average retention
S-blackberry, subtle honey, soft pine
T-tart blackberry, resiny pine, with citrus through out, malt providing balance but not lending much in flavor
M-medium bodied with average retention
O-a fairly balanced fruit infused beer. Not sure blackberry is the first choice for a fruit IPA, but overall its not bad and wouldn't mind having in a mixed pack again
