Pours deep purple/ plum with a hefty pulpy bubbly head rising and quickly falling. Plenty of berry pulp clinging to the glass. Nose is mixed berry pulp, some maple syrup and coconut. Taste follows suit with a sharp, tart lemon finish. Overall, excellent.

Those unusually large, clear tapioca bubbles form over this opaquely purple monstrosity.

The dichotomously thick body of medium heft (huh?) delivers straight up blackberry Flintstones Push Ups to the dome.

I'm not entirely sure the coconut and maple were wholly necessary or even contributed mild accents, but it's a tasty beverage nonetheless.

16 FL OZ can
Served in a HOMES wine style glass

This beer pours a deep plum color and is topped with a persistent dark purple head that clings to the side of the glass.

Blackberry and raspberry dominate the smell and taste. Ripe red fruit all the way.

Full bodied with a thick mouthfeel

Tasty AF. Thick and refreshing. Great stuff from a great brewery.

16 oz can dated 2/19/21; purchased directly from the brewery; poured into a tulip glass and, boy, is this thick as it almost erupts out of glass; three fingers of head with lots of lacing which includes large fruited pieces clinging to sides of glass; deep raspberry red color; berries dominate the nose with slight hint of citrus; thick mouthfeel with berries on the tongue; not getting much maple syrup, but this is very tasty; good but not exceptional.
