Drank from a 1 pint can purchased at New Park Brewing, West Hartford, CT
Canned on 12/08/2020
Served in a Rastal Harmony stemless glass

A fluffy, two-finger tall mass of violet colored bubbles topped the cloudy, deep plum hued body. The head fizzled away almost instantaneously. There was no lacing nor any head retention whatsoever.

The aroma was really powdery and dry initially. As the head receded, berry notes appeared. Blackberry was most prominent. Some vanilla and/or lactose notes came through as well. Touch of strawberry possibly too.

The flavor profile was similar to the nose but not quite as punchy. There was a strong berry presence. Underripe blackberry perhaps. Somewhat sour and a touch bitter. Bit of lactose in the center. Cranberry appeared as the beer moved along the palate. Fairly tart and tangy. More sourness and a touch of hoppy bitterness was detectable on the finish.

The mouthfeel was somewhat lackluster. Medium-light bodied. The liquid contained a larger bubbled, greater-than-average effervescence that felt a touch airy.

New Park’s Blender beers may not garner the same attention they once did, but they are still total crushers. I will definitely be saving some of these for the warmer weather months ahead.
