From a 16 oz can dated 04/29/0. Sampled on May 6, 2020.

It's violet! And hazy. With a modest, fading off-white head. I am never a fan of beer appearances that do not fit into the amber spectrum.

This one is brewed with blackberry and cherry and certainly this is what I pick up in the aroma well beyond anything else. Maybe the slightest of grainy notes but otherwise fruity, fruity, fruity.

Smooth light bodied beer.

Again like the aroma, my taste buds are overwhelmed by mildly tart berry characters and little else. A slight bitterness at the end that I cannot define.

These hybrid beers are just not my thing personally. That's not to say style-wise it should get a high rating. But my pleasure rating is far lower.

I'm not usually an IPA fan, but do enjoy this one.
Nice tropical aroma and juicy flavor. I prefer it over the regular Safe Space, but the wife prefers the Safe Space.

Per the commercial description they use a rotating fruit blend, so there will be some variety to these reviews I'm sure. I got the RAS/BLACKBERRY one (printed on bottom of can). Pours an odd-looking purplish-brown with very little head. I was laughing at the color, but the aroma is wildly berry-tastic. Maybe a bit overdone but I love fruit beers so I'm okay with it. Nice balance of bready malt and super fruits comes through in the flavor as well, almost no hop bitterness. Finish is surprisingly clean given the berry-blast flavors. I'd be happy to drink a ton of these.

Poured into a 12 oz snifter on draft and I believe the waitresss said it was 8% ABV. Pours like a glass of pineapple orange juice with a 2 finger off white head that coats the sides of the glass.

Smell is guava, pineapple, tangerine, passion fruit, and some grapefruit rind.

Taste follows tropical front to back, very balanced with very little bitterness.

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, soft feel as it should, not dry but slightly sticky, and drinks so easy.

Overall just an amazing NEDIPA.
