Pours very clear with a light pink tint,minimal head that quickly fades. Aroma is funky with some cherry in there. Very light and effervescent. Flavor is very light, funky, light sour cherry, feels lighter than 5%. Carbonation is strong, has a nice tart sourness to it that is refreshing, very light acidity. Overall a light, sessionable, easy drinking sour.

Poured from a can (no date on the can I could find, released 22Jul2020) into a Belgian glass

L: pours a somewhat clear apricot orange/rose blush, with a very thick robust white head. Fades after a minute to some larger bubbles, leaving some around the edges. Very slight visible carbonation

S: refreshing nose, kettle sour character leads followed by a nice amount of tart cherry. Get some dough, orange, this cinnamon note as well, baking spices

T: first thing I noticed is how full-flavored this ale is. Some of that THP cheerio character, nothing crazy. Cherry flavor there, along with the orange/cinnamon/spices notes I got from the nose. Not as tart/sour as I expected, tastes more sweet even especially through the medium/long finish

F: quite full bodied, medium/light carbonation, slightly drying yet also coats my tongue

O: interesting beer - wouldn’t say it’s what I expected, but find myself enjoying it. Has this richer, cherry pie flavor as it warms that I like - wouldn’t call it sour, will knock it for that but in a vacuum a pretty good brew
