Super hazy deep purple and strong indigo coloured body with a fairly lareg, but fast-dying light blue and pink coloured head that's very large-bubbled and leaves a bit on the sides. Aroma of blueberries, lemons, oranges and a bit of lactobilly notes with some lactose or caster sugar here as well. Light-bodied; Very watery and lightly fruited and showing some soft wheat and herbal notes with a rustic quality and not much else - subdued throughout. Aftertaste is pretty clean with only some light blueberry and strawberry notes coming through, with a dash of wheat and lactose here, but very easy-drinking and fairly mild throughout. Overall, a decent beer with at least real fruit flavours, but nothing too complex, flavourful or robust to make anyone, even those who love fruits/sours/goses to try to find this. Nice to sample, from locally, but you don't need to try it - I already did it for you and it wasn't great! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Union Square, 14th Street), New York on 16-January-2022 for US$4,99 with the tagline 'Never Not Fresh' on the bottom and canned on 02-December-2021 sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-May-2022.

16 oz can that was hiding in the back of the beer fridge, don't know where or when I purchased it, but I think it was Joe Canals, 7/11/20. Can is from fall 2019 I believe. Reddish color, mostly clear, fizzy head fades quickly. Dough and blueberry, some lightly sour / tart notes. Big carbonation. Decent. Definitely on the older side, but it's been at fridge temp the whole time and seems to have held up fine.
