That must be why I didn't like it that much. My undersides were pink and not red like the picture. I probably picked it too soon.
That has been my experience as well, need to let them get dead ripe. Even the Blue Boar Berries would take on an almost brick red color before they really started to taste good. Too soon and it was a whole different taste experience, less favorable for the variety. I think that has contributed to some of the less than positive reviews regarding taste on some of the blues. They do take somewhat longer to ripen in my opinion.
