ONE PINT can
Served in a pokal glass
This beer pours a murky, deep purple hue and is topped by an inch of beet colored head that disappears leaving fruit purée on the side of the glass.
It smells of a heavenly berry medley. Tart raspberry and strawberry forward. The blueberry and grape aromas are there as well.
Tart raspberry upfront. Some underlying strawberry and blueberry. Grape is more in the aftertaste. Sweet and tart.
Full bodied with a thick mouthfeel
Berry, berry delicious

Received from @BigIronH in the NBS BIF #16. Poured into a tulip glass. It pours a thick, turbid magenta color with a full finger of pink-purple head and lots of lacing. For a purple kettle sour it couldn't be much prettier. A bright, fruity nose with lots of raspberry. The taste is very sweet with lots of raspberry, strawberry, and grape juice over sweet vanilla cream. Its mouth feel is delightfully rich, thick, and creamy. The 6% ABV is appropriate. Overall, Purple Slush is a berry bomb and a very tasty one. While I don't drink this style often, I really enjoyed it.

Pours a dark slushy red color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of grape and strawberry. Taste is sweet and fruity. Thick and smooth. Another Arvin winner.

16 oz can poured into an oversized wine glass
A- An opaque/pulpy reddish purple with a two finger pink head.
S- Mixed berries and grape juice.
T- Strawberries, grape juice, raspberries, touch of blueberries, a little fruit tartness but mostly sweet.
M- Smooth, full body.
O- Tasty but more like a fruit smoothie than a beer. It is good and easy to drink, pretty much tastes like what you would expect from a drink called purple slush.
