Blue raspberry, lemon, biscuit malt, and orange peel aroma. Hazy green-blue with small, short-lasting head. Lightly sweet blue raspberry, lemon, wheat malt, moderately sour citric acid, and mildly bitter orange peel flavor. Good body. Very interesting hybrid.

Usually butterfly pea makes things look gray. I should make a tag. Clear, emerald green, lacy pour. Smells like Jello. Apple-y bittersweet, candy chemical acidity & plastic flavor, dusty vitamin finish. Iffy Gatorade beer. That also needs a tag.

Super deep crisp blue coloured body with a thinnish, funky blue head that's a bit off-white but fades fairly quickly. Aroma of soured, tart, very funky malts but of course the candy that would make up blue raspberries - airheads, jolly ranchers and some blow pops, but all artificial scented, in a good way. Medium-bodied; Very soured and tart blue raspberry and candy-like flavour at first with a bit of yeast and bread, but the candy and soured notes define this one, especially the residual sugars and sweetness here. Aftertaste shows some funky yeast and bready malts, but the blue raspberry and candy notes dominate here, in a good way, but there is really no defined hop note here at all, so the IPA portion of this is pretty substandard, as expected, really, but the candy, sweetness and pure funkiness is high here. Overall, a very nice and tart, soured beer with a lot of the blue raspberry candy notes with a lot of funkiness, sweetness and candy-like notes that define this and still make it robust and complex enough to enjoy. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington, Virginia on 10-March-2021 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-September-2021.

Draft pour to a tulip at Hop and Hound. St. Patty Green pour with a thin film head. Lemon, amd sweet candy raspberry flavors throughout. I don't see a whole lot of IPA base on this at all. Totally buried with candy. Moderately tart. Tons of berries up front, with that lemon pucker late. Sweet candy aroma. Definitely a new one for me. I enjoy sweets every now and then so this was gone about as fast as they poured it.
