341ml bottle - they don't say how they make this one tart - if it's just the cherries, then there's hope yet!
This beer pours a clear, medium orange-brick amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of low-lying grotto lace around the glass as things quickly recede.
It smells of tart cherries, bready pale and caramel malt, a slightly sweet milkiness, some oily bar-top nuts, and very faint earthy and leafy green hop bitters. The taste is cherry-infused cookies - the tart and sugary fruit, with a pastry-leaning caramel malt - a touch of sour cream, a sort of pithy generic nuttiness, and more tame leafy, floral, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a nice airy creaminess taking flight after a few hot seconds out of the fridge. It finishes off-dry, the fruit tart (but not tart fruit) character duly lingering, alongside the analogous crème fraîche one might put on it.
Overall, this is a pleasantly rendered fruit beer, and not particularly tart, once all that sweet confection is draped over the guest ingredient. Easy to drink, and enjoyable as a dessert tag-along, I would imagine. Sort of like sweet cherry pie - someone inform/resurrect Warrant, already!
