My Feedback:

I’d call Downeast’s Blackberry a sunrise salmon color, it is clearly more orange than purple. It has a super berry nose with strawberry, blackberry and raspberry notes. The pull on this is absolutely brilliant—pillowy and soft with just a tad bit of acidity as it transitions to the middle note. A good, bright and acidic tart mid-section that rolls into a sweeter finish that doesn’t last long but there is a whisper of flavor with a pleasant after taste. This is sure to be a real crowd pleaser as it is perfectly balanced and lighthearted. It has a great marriage between the fruits with the apple juice giving it a really nice body and the blackberries produce a flavor that is not overpowering, just giving the drink some nice backing vocals. Job really well done. I could drink ten of these—but obviously shouldn’t.
