MegaBerryz Puff Tart
The Brewing Projekt

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beer pours a chunky purple red with a large head. The aroma is mixed berries with raspberry leading, marshmallow, vanilla, and tart acid. The flavor is a gorgeous smoothie blend of fruit, marshmallow, and vanilla. The mouthfeel is chunku, smoothie like, and full, with gregarious carbonation. Overall a well done example of this style.

A soft click of the can shows me a really lovely murky juicy purple color. The pour is a wonderfully thick, juicy burgundy-purple with a creamy pink head. The head is about 1 finger and recedes to a ring leaving no lacing. Aside from that it's nearly world class.

Aroma from the can is straight berry smoothie and pastry crust. It comes off that it could be a bit too sweet, but flirts with the line and doesn't cross. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries...frozen, fresh...it's all here. Slight vanilla and burnt sugar. From the glass it's even better, all of those aromas meld together to create a wonderful fruit smoothie aroma. Again, wow.

Flavor...holy crap! Raspberry and blackberry twin popsickle, creamy blueberry custard, followed by elements of sweet vanilla flan, lime, and sweet orange. The sugars stay well tucked within the wave of berry goodness but keep popping through now and again. Sweet orange and a twist of lime hang around on the finish. As it is sipped more, the sugar does take over a bit and it loses the wonderful balance it struck initially. Had to dock it for that.

Feel is zippy, semi-creamy, pretty thick but doesn't coat the mouth or give the impression of a milkshake that last night's Trillium did, and leaves some odd tannic coating on the roof of the mouth.

Overall, absolutely stunning on the first few sips. Due to the perceived sweetness, however, it does not have the legs to go the distance on my palate from start to finish without taking a short break for a palate reset every few sips. Doesn't quite hold a candle to my personal favorite, Southern Grist, but the flavor is still here. Pretty good juicer from BP. I'll be checking out other beers in this series as well. This and The Stolen Mile get my seal of approval. Well done.

Brewing Projekt MegaBerryz Puff Tart Raspberry/Blackberry/Blueberry Sour, 4.57% ABV. Pours thick and murky dark red with a 3-finger pink head that left a bunch of puree residue. Nose is a real nice berry mashup, plus vanilla. Taste follows, slightly sweet, moderately tart. Excellent mouthfeel, overall outstanding to world-class-adjacent. Worlds better than the Gauvapplerry variant I had last night, which was bland as hell.
