Brewery draught, 7/4/25.
Blue raspberry looking (from the spirulina), mostly clear, maybe a bit of glassiness. Small, off-white head.
Nose is piquant raspberry, almost tart, with a good hop bitterness on the finish showing pine and grapefruit. Lactose pretty low here, which is nice. Nothing weird going on (which is kind of shocking, honestly), and it's not sweet.
Indeed it mimics the nose with a shocking dryness, good hoppiness and fruity and acidic raspberry that seems nearly fully fermented out. It retains a medium body, with decent depth. Not really milkshakey and not enough lactose to make it creamy, which is fine with me. Quite hoppy. Seems they've improved the recipe a good deal from last year.

Can shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ. Opaque, blue-gray with nice sparkle, tall foamy head with fair retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong blueberry and raspberry. Taste is blueberry, tart raspberry and mild lactose. Smooth texture, medium body, lively carbonation, finish as taste. Advertised elements are there, so well made, but don't care for it.

16 oz can shared by Tj. Blue / green color. Aroma a bold popsicle berry characteristic. The flavor is lactose with a melted raspberry popsicle sweetness. Not really my thing.
