Can: Poured a deep reddish/purple color ale with a small foamy head with OK retention and some limited amount of lacing. Aroma of light vanilla notes with some fresh berry notes is interesting. Taste is mostly dominated by berry notes with light lactose and vanilla notes with some dry floral hops that are more subdued than expected. Body is full with medium carbonation. More of a fruit beer then an IPA with some balance but lacking some focus.

Purple. No head. On the nose, woody hops, touch of berry. The berry character is nice. That lupulin powder bitterness flows with the lactose sweetness. Not bad balance, actually. Won't say it's good, but it's not so bad.

473mL can, pours a dark purple-ish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is loaded with lactose, tart boysenberries and citrus hops. Flavour is sweet, tart and hoppy, with lots of lactose, tart berries and citrus hops. Milkshake-like indeed. Very odd, but it works, sort of.

Draught at the brewery
Murky red purple color, berry pureé. Delicate aroma, tart red berries, dank hops, mint. Thick sweet berry flavor like a smoothie, but with nice pungent hop and alcohol touch, balanced.
Excellent.

Draft - Green leafy notes with a touch of berry. Deep maroon with a small white head. Green and leafy, but the berry doesn't come across.

Taster at the brewery during its 2nd Anniversary shared with Alex. Pours a dirty cloudy purple with no head. Aroma is strange with some berries and vegetable notes. Taste is similar with fishy notes. Not a beer I could like.
