One of those beers that's basically a flavored seltzer. Wasn't a fan. The added flavors were the only notes that I can pick up with my nose and taste. I can see an audience for it but personally not interested enough to try again.

 

Pale murky yellow with a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly and leaves little lacing. Tart cherry, lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange. Too much tart and twang for me.

 

 

 

 

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 7/26/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, citrus zest, cracker, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, citrus zest, cracker, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light fruit tang/tartness and mild herbal/grassy/zesty bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy cherries, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, citrus zest, cracker, white bread, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no yeast notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and lightly acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is an excellent fruited pale lager! All around great robustness and balance of fruit, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very juicy/jammy cherries and vibrant limes; with balanced clean pils malts, and mild earthy hops. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Perfect summer beer!

 

 

Appearance is good, nice gold color. Aroma and taste reminded me of Pine Sol. Not a fan. I did appreciate that it was tart and sweet at the same time. Just not sure about the Cherry and lime combination.
