Looks like strawberry juice with a one inch, well retained pink head that left blotchy lacing. Smells of tart cherries and a slight bit of funk. Tastes of blackberries, tart cherries, dough like malt, mild tartness, mild sweetness and a very little bit of funk. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, light mouth feel, slightly dry and tart finish.

Fruited Berliner weisse with blackberries, sour cherries and lactose. This isn’t necessarily my favorite style in general, but this one is well done. Grainy pale malts and bright lacrosse acidity provide backbone for sweet fruits. Not complex, but tasty.

EDIT: They've brewed a few more batches and started canning them, and they've dialed in the recipe, I think - the overall cohesiveness of the beer is improved significantly, to the point where it's VERY cherry pie-like in profile. Integrated acidity and fruit with a pie crust-like backbone that isn't hurt by age. Head retention improved, as well. If rescoring, L:4/S:4.25/T:4.5/F:4.25/O:4.25 - outstanding.
