16 oz. can, pours a chunky, very ugly muddled purple with no heads — looks like a smoothie. Nose is full of orange pulp, some cherry pit, and pineapple. Flavour is intens and smoothie-like, with muddled fruit pur�e that is orange-heavy. The booze is somewhat felt but not overly burdensome. The mouthfeel is rather off-putting: very chunky. Finishes moderately sweet and like an artificial, powdery, alcoholized fruity punch.

Can. Crimson beer with a pinkish head. Light sour and stone fruit aroma with summer fruit. Cherry and summer fruit flavor with sourness and pineapple. Medium bodied. Cherry and pineapple linger with sourness and summer fruit.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 16, 2020. Aroma is straight fruit punch. So much fruit with hints of acidity and grain. Light notes of alcohol. Fruit punch note is almost artificial and it's hard to distinguish the individual fruit notes, but it's nice. Pours a murky, purplish red with a medium sized, moderately thick, frothy, pink head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers on the edges for a bit. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light acidity and faint malt notes. Faint bitterness and light alcohol notes. So much of that semi-artificial fruit punch note with loads of fruit that is difficult to pull out individually. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a fun beer. I'm not sure it's a traditional Berliner and the fruit note tastes more like Hawaiian Punch powder was poured in a berliner than a bunch of fruit. It's fun, but I'm not sure this flavor is just real fruit.
