Fruit smoothie berry purple to red with a thin crimson cap.
Nose is blueberry yoghurt, honey, floral notes, sweet edge, berry pips.
Taste comprises sweet berry pulp, floral, honey, syrup effect, big on grapes in the taste.
Medium bodied, soft fruit smoothie feel, semi drying close with a modest puckering edge.
Fun pastry sour affair ... good grape profile ... could I drink a lot of this ... NO ... dipped from 7.5 to 7.4 for this factor.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, brief smooth start, good fine minerally carbonation quickly takes over. Smooth pale malts, a light but foward creamy sweetness. Alora hops in a dipa - yaaay. Crisp cooling pine into a soft Earl Grey Bergamot. The yuzu vibe is a modest accompaniment. Light smooth finish brings a hop spice nip. Good effort. Personally, I think this would have been top drawer with a less sweet malt profile but, that is a minor nit pick.
Can from brew export. Smoothie style thick body. With tart berry. The finish is a bit dry roasted peanut.

Can from Brew Export Advent Calendar. Pours a gloopy mauve. Thin white head latterly escapes to freedom. Aroma has an initial burst of berry, but seconds later the peanut butter hits. Spot-on aroma. Flavourwise we have the sweet jam and roasty peanut butter, and a sugariness. Sweet and umami with a light sour edge. Thick. Creamy with a pithy element. Lazy fizzy carbonation (to be fair it may actually be exerting some energy to push through the liquid). Long slightly dry and relatively astringent finish. I was suspicious of this beer but I really enjoyed it and it delivered what was promised.
