Super deep ruby and pure violet coloured body, on the clear side, with a tiny bit of opacity here, mainly due to such a deep hue, all with a faint tan head that fades very quickly. Aroma of super tart and very fresh pure cherry juice scents with some raspberry, blackberry and a hint of huckleberries, but the cherry note, sour and tart twang and a dash of light herbal and grassy notes, but this really is all about the fruit, in a great way, with some slight alcohol scents noticeable, but the cherry and raspberries do come through, in the nose at least. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong super tart and deep cherry and raspberry fruit notes with a lot of sweetness as well, showing some grassiness and dry qualities, but the fruits really are the focal point here, but there is a lot of sweetness and a dash of the alcohol near the end. Aftertaste shows some punch from the alcohol and light malts, but the soured and tart components are still the strongest, but leave an almost perfect level of malts, sweetness, tartness, fruits and alcohol make this very nice, rich and still somehow easy-ish drinking! Overall, a very nice and elegant fruit beer that almost bends to a sour, but shows a great level of malts, alcohol, sweetness and of course tart flavours - balanced well throughout with a good simplistic and easy-drinking finish. Great to sample, and while this was the only beer in my fridge from Florida, I had to have it tonight in celebration of Tampa's Super BowlLV win on 07-February-2021. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 10-July-2020 for US$6,65 sampled at my house here in Washington after Tampa Bay's victory in the NFL championship (and of course the NHL champtionship and making it to the World Series in the MLB) on 07-February-2021.
