Tap. Pours murky magenta, small pinkish white head, decent lacing. Aroma is huge BlackBerry. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter. Mega BlackBerry. Medium body. Creamy. Actually, not bad, but totally one dimensional.

Tap Social at State Line. Looks like black berry baby vomit. Light purple mud. The black berry purée dominates. Just bitterness of hops peaks out through that. So, it’s unsweet berry fruits with sweet fruity hoppiness and bitterness peaking out. Flavor is more melded constant bitterness in conjunction with the blackberry. Weird for me, like a biter blackberry beer and I might prefer the base IPA or just a blackberry blonde or something.

Goblet at Meridian Pint. Never had a cup of sizzurp, but I imagine this is what it would look like. Neon purple, muddy, just a couple of bubbles of head. Does not look real appetizing, but thankfully, that is where the invective ends. Nose is bright and very inviting, crushed berry smoothie, light berry patch without the funk, a little candy, some chewing gum, guava, mango, a little green vanilla, sorbet. Flavor departs entirely from an IPA, but who cares. Black and blueberries, berry smoothie, a little vanilla, some condensed milk, guava, mango, some very ripe melon, some tangerine lurking. Creamy, fruity finish. Really enjoyable and very drinkable.
