Super crazy deep purple, indigo and deep muddied blue coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall light purple, lavender coloured head that fades fairly slowly, without leaving a lace at all - crazy looking, but absolutely beatiful. Aroma of strong lactose, funky grassiness, alcohol, bunches of wheat, sweaty socks (yes, really - odd!!!), a kick of apples and of course some blueberries - all strong in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Fairly thin in terms of malt here without any real wheat qualities, but some light and tart blueberries are here, but no bitterness, hops or pungency - this is quite thin. Aftertaste is pretty bland as well, with some lactose and icing sugar as the strongest notes, but nothing too pungent here and nothing complex. Overall, sadly, this is all about the look and nose here - the flavour and palate is deeply disappointing and like most others, not an IPA at all! I'm happy to have tried this and especially LOOKED at it, but not worth grabbing if you are packing it in a suitcase and flying back home - just drink it right away! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Broadway Liqour in South Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 01-July-2022 for CA$5,50 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-July-2022.

Purple and kinda murky. Not much head. Some orangey hop notes and a fair bit of blueberry. On the palate it’s what you’d expect - alcohol strength, lots of blueberries, vanilla and a bit of hop. So it achieves its goals. Whether with enough style or refinement is another matter.

Deep purple with a decent white head. Touch of berry and herbal notes. Blueberry and some creamy notes.
