Pink Bull’s latest Summer time Version has an appropriately named berry as its taste — juneberry.
What’s a juneberry? That’s what I needed to know as a result of I didn’t realize it existed, and I wish to have extra unusual fruit data that I can whip out as an icebreaker when launched to individuals who I wish to discourage from speaking to me ever once more. In the event you’re like me and do not know what this berry is however don’t wish to go down a juneberry rabbit gap, I’ve gone down one for you.
It goes by many names that wouldn’t look fairly proper on a Pink Bull can, like amelanchier, serviceberry, chuckleberry, sarvisberry, saskatoon berry, and the marginally giggle-causing names of shadbush, shadwood, or shadblow. The fruit’s look has been in comparison with blueberries, nevertheless it’s extra intently associated to apples and pears as a result of it’s a pome fruit (a fruit with seeds enclosed in a tricky core). It’s native to North America and will be discovered throughout Canada and in each US state besides Hawaii (most likely why I’ve by no means heard of it). OMG. This rabbit gap is getting deeeeeeeeeep. Time to climb out, Chucklebunny.
Oh, wait. Not so quick, Junebunny! I forgot to say the way in which its taste is described. Let’s return down the outlet for a bit. I discovered from one supply that they style like “darkish cherries or raisins.” Whereas one other stated, “blueberries crossed with apples.” And one other stated, “strawberry, blueberry, and a contact of almond.” Pink Bull Summer time Version Juneberry’s deep purple coloration would possibly make you suppose its taste might be any of these, however these aren’t what I style. One of the best ways I can describe it’s to say it was like a mature blue raspberry taste, much less candy-like and extra tart, however not too tart. Though, it did have a much less mature scent that jogged my memory of a Louie-Bloo Otter Pop.
Pink Bull Summer time Version Juneberry’s taste brings to thoughts a earlier seasonal launch — 2020’s Winter Version Arctic Berry. It had a “cool raspberry” taste that I wasn’t too impressed with it. This juneberry selection appears to do raspberry higher, and it’s tasty sufficient that it’s price a purchase order this June, July, August, April, Could, or September.
