Best Quote During Tasting

It looks like a beer that Barbie would drink.

Justin:

Aroma - Tart and sweet.  You get blueberry but it's not overpowering.
Score: 10/12
Appearance - Pink, slightly cloudy and absolutely no head whatsoever.
Score: 2/3
Flavor - The tartness is what comes through most in the flavor.  It's very tart but in a refreshing way.  The acidity hides any spicy character from the yeast.  It's similar to a sparkling wine.
Score: 18/20
Mouthfeel - The best word I can come up with is "effervescent." It features a dry finish, and the slight pucker from the tartness is nice.  It's refreshing. 
Score: 5/5
Overall Impression - I was quite impressed with this offering.  At it's availability and price point, it's not one to hang on to for aging or trading but I could see it being a "go-to" for what I bring for special occasions.  It's a heckuva beer that would pair well with a fruity dessert at a housewarming party.
Score: 9/10

 

Blake:

Aroma - Sweet blueberry and a bit ot tart funkiness. 
Score: 10/12
Appearance - This beer pours bright pink. Not sure what I was expecting when opened, but it wasn't that color.
Score: 2/3
Flavor - Slightly sour and tart with a nice blueberry finish. Slightly acidic, but still pleasing nonetheless.
Score: 17/20
Mouthfeel - High carbonation with a dry finish. Very crisp, similar to a sparkling wine.
Score: 5/5
Overall Impression - I bought this for a friend as part of a number of beers for his 30th birthday. Glad that this one turned out so well, because I didn't see a whole lot of reviews on it. I'm very interested to try a number of other beers in this series.
Score: 8/10
