12 ounce botthe thanks to hershiser2! Deep red, large fizzy pink head, fair retention. Aroma of jammy berries, pale malt. Taste is Concord grape, rasperry, grass. Flat, medium bodied, kinda gummy, definitely juicy. It's weird but I like it.

Super deep purple, violet, brown and ruby coloured body with a very nice deep purple head, about three centimetres tall that is staying afloat for a long time. Aroma of super deep grapes, raisins, figs, oranges, raspberries, cherries, apples and malt - very nice throughout in the nose and on the eyes. Medium-bodied; Dense malty backbone dominates with a lot of cherry, raspberry and strawberry notes throughout along with a big kick of fructose and light floral elements that really draw out the complexities and show a good deal of sweetness across the board. Aftertaste shows the fruits, obviously, with a lot of dense, chewy malts and alcohol noticeable and a nice floral and slightly dry finish which gives this complexity, but a good variance on the pure sweet and fruity aspect that is obviously the strongest. Overall, a nice and interesting beer that I never saw coming from a macro (InBev) producing or supporting, but i'm happy that they did, since I thoroughly enjoyed it and liked the depth of flavours, especially the variance in fruits. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-July-2020.

Lots of raspberries and some lime peel. Pours smoothie ruby with decent and lacing. Not even that much tang at all - surprising considering the raspberry levels. Sweet finish. Bottle.
Reddish purple pour. Raspberry and graoe taste. Sweet juice taste with a sweet palate
