Has a pale purple colour, just a thin head. The aroma is a bit of haskap, the palate more vanilla and then haskap. It’s definitely sweet. That’s clearly the point but it’s still a bit jarring. But the balance of elements is fine. Okay, not my thing, like at all, but as a judge I can respect that they hit the mark for the base beer’s light pale malt note and the interplay between the adjuncts, especially with a touch of tartness from the front. I’d score it better in a competition than for me as a guy on Ratebeer.
