Thanks to JLindros for sharing this can. Canned on 8/22.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice slightly reddish blonde with a thin wispy head.
S - Aromas of almost sharp cherry juice and tartness, almost potpourri like, smells very Berliner like with a little bit of wheat.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice almost tart cherry pie flavors, not much wheat or crust like, good lactic sourness...The tart cherry flavour is really good.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, good brighter cherry juice and tartness, not flemmy on the finish.
O - Overall this was a solid enough kettle sour with nice cherry tartness.

Pours a white foamy smaller head with lower retention, a little lacing, iced tea tan slight red color but not the rosy amber color I hoped for, but brilliantly clear
Nose typical Berliner base, creamy like with lacto funk, doughy wheat maybe, light funk, sour cherry is there but not a ton, cherry skin
Taste some tart cherry up front but not a ton at first, more Berliner tartness with lactic acid, lacto funk, a little creamy doughy, little cereal grain, then big cherry center, cherry pie like, with the doughy crust, mild tart flemmy finish, dry bready like finish typical for Berliner
Mouth is med to lighter bod, a little thin and not as creamy feeling as I expected, lighter carb, some acidity
Overall mixed, base was a little thin, cherry was light on the nose but quite nice on the taste, base berliner was good, acidity was good, lactic acid was good, etc

Poured from a 16 oz can into a stemmed harmony glass.
Pours a hazy light pink color with a half-finger of white head. The head is gone instantly, leaving absolutely zero lacing as it settles into nothingness. Looks like pink lemonade.
The aroma brings notes of tart cherries, lemon zest, and slight barnyard funk. There's also some wheat bread and faint grass on the back end.
The flavor brings notes of cherry yogurt, banana esters, cloves and lemons. The finish brings plenty of doughy malt and wheat.
The feel is light bodied with very lively carbonation. Crisp and refreshing with a moderately dry finish.
Overall, a very good kettle sour that is highly drinkable and never too tart. It's nicely balanced and definitely worth checking out.
