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. Untappd description was “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.

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)
