Tasty and tart, as advertised. The canned version of this had a bit of a tinny odor and flavor. It’s red, mildly carbonated and relatively refreshing on this lovely July afternoon.

355ml can - a 'Student Seasonal', one which is a collaboration with the Donald School of Business at Red Deer College (too bad about that name right now, eh?).
This beer pours a hazy, medium salmon amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy pale pink head, which leaves some thick, low-lying coral reef pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of well, tart cherries, gritty and grainy cereal malt, a hint of earthy funk, and some very, very subtle leafy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is cherry-flavoured yogurt, bready and grainy pale malt, a bit of crackery wheatiness, ethereal funky notes, and more well-understated earthy, leafy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its palate-disappointing frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, as the tartness isn't so heady that it can stifle a minor burgeoning creaminess, to boot. It finishes off-dry, the malt showing the strongest in terms of lingering prowess.
Overall - yeah, the titular acridity doesn't last very long in this offering, quickly ceding way to a mixed malt and red berry fruitiness. It's pleasant enough, but not particularly balanced or complex. Ah, well, it will work in a snap on sunny Alberta patios this summer, I have no doubt.
