Pretty cloudy purple to purple brown beer, big creamy off-white head, pretty stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: all blueberries all right! Some red cabbage and beetroot, very earthy. MF: all slush and fruit puree, that is not a pleasant beer texture. Taste: lots of blueberries, beetroot, salmiac liquorice, salty, weird. Aftertaste: more fruity, but weird with the salmiac liquorice. And I do not like that very much, but the beer isn’t too bad, and original. Hate the texture though.
