A magically refreshing smoothie sour that’ll transport you right back into the wild world of pure imagination... Except we promise you won’t blow up like a blueberry. This one’s made with juicy El Dorado + Mosaic hops, creamy lactose and over a pound per gallon of fresh blueberries. Skip the dessert gum and crack open a can of Violet instead.

Thanks, Sam!
Was lucky enough to get this one and a bunch of other good stuff from Sam.

Poured a medium copper color with 6-to-7 fingers of pinkish-white rocky head. Could see just a few bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Good spotty lacing. Very good retention. (Sight - 4.00)
Smelled blueberry, purple grape, vanilla, candied blue raspberry and El Dorado. About the same out of the can. (Smell - 3.75)
Tasted a little better than the nose. In order got blueberry, Smarties candy, purple grape, Blue Raspberry Blow Pop candy, El Dorado, vanilla and cotton candy. (Taste - 3.75)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt, tart finish. (Feel - 4.00)
Might have slightly underrated this overall but still very good. (Overall - 3.75)
