Received this as an extra in a trade. Had really wanted to share this with JLindros but it has a 2/28 canning date so unfortunately that can't happen.
A - Poured into my duvel tulip a nice super hazy purple ruby berry juice hue with a fat two finger pink head that is super creamy and fades very, very slowly to leave light lacing and a dense, creamy blanket.
S - Aromas of berry compote galore. Enormous blueberry and boysenberry aroma along with almost jammy red raspberries. The plums bring just a super subtle drupe aroma before this berry jam goes into really intense passionfruit aromas. It's wild how fruity this beer is, almost smells like a blueberry, boysenberry, passion fruit pie filling (sans crust of course). The plums get definitely overpowered, if they had been omitted or replaced by raspberries this would be a 5 all day.
T - Taste is similar to the nose. As JLindros would probably gripe about the nose lacking 'beer' elements it's certainly there on the taste. Excellent almost creamy wheat and grains with just a little touch of malt backbone. The fruit is there for sure, just not anywhere near as assertive as the nose is. Big red berry flavour, becomes almost a touch generic but you still can get blueberry and boysenberry. The plum is pretty much lost yet again, finish has loads of musky tropical passion fruit flavour. Certainly juicy.
M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, little crisp with a medium body. Feels thicker than it really is but doesn't really get flemmy. No flash of alcohol either.
O - Overall this beer was simply stellar. The fruit aspects here were great, I just wish they'd omitted plum from it as it gets lost in the aggressive other fruits. Definitely would have been a higher score without plum on the label, that's for sure. As it warms though, and I mean really warms, I get what tastes like some super subtle diacytl notes. Buried under all the bright fruits is just a hint of buttery flavour. It's subtle on the taste but it's there and it even pops up on the nose even more subtle. Again, only when incredible warm. Knocked the overall down because of that. I'd love to have some more cans of this so I can share, as well as the newer variation they just released.
