No canning date. Can to wine glass.
Look: Pours an intense red with a fluffy white head that dissipates rather quickly and leaves a good amount of lacing. No floaters.
Smell: More strawberry than blueberry, more lime than lemon. However, both blueberry and lemon are also there.
Taste: Fruity red berry notes combined with a citrusy tartness. The blueberry sweetness is tamed by intense lime notes pushing it more towards the taste of fresh strawberries. Lactose and agave nectar balance everything out.
Feel: Juicy, smooth and creamy with a medium carbonation.
Overall: Great combination of flavors, very nicely balanced. Look and feel are on point, too. Taste and smell remind me of some kind of red berry sorbet as well as fruity bubblegum. Fantastic example of the style.

Pours a hazy strawberry color with a pink head. Pistachio, Lime with berries on the nose. Tastes fantastic. Tartness of lime, perfectly balanced with the juicy sweetness of berries. Creamy feel. Brilliant brew!!
