Undated can drunk 6/9/22. Moderately hazy brass-bronze with warm maize tones and a small, dense, white head. Cherry blossom indeed with milky lactose and lightly earthy tea. Kinda punchy and vomitty given the lactose...Not really getting any hop character in the nose. Cherry and floral notes with sweet milk sugar and rich malt turning tart via lactic acid on the finish. Soft and creamy with good but not overbearing sweetness. The cherry blossom is rather overbearing though it's pretty delicious. Definitely don't think it needs the lactose, but I also hate lactose most of the time.

Pours hazy light gold into a tulip. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving trailing spiders. Tea, meadow and cherry pie aromas. Sharp with salty jelly bean, cherry sourpatch and white smarties front to back. Dry meadow finish. Odd, enticiing.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, thick, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral fruity aroma, notes of cherry, cherry blossoms, a touch of hibiscus, rose hip. Taste is tart, floral fruity, notes of cherry, cherry blossoms, fruit acidic and slightly lactic tartness, hints of cherry flavoured grape sugar. Watery, minimally oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly astringent palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Wonderful composition, highly drinkable, refreshing - enjoyable.

473ml can. Sweetish, tart and floral with some hints of Dr. Pepper in the aroma, some marzipan, berries, creamy vanilla and tea, hints of pomegrenate, yoghurt and sourness. Interesting combination of flavors.

Lightly hazy orange, fluffy white head. Sweet smell, loads of tea and blossoms. Light body, slightly puckering, very refreshing. Taste is a bit too much tea for my taste, but that is what they wanted I guess. Lactose is well hidden. Surprisingly fruity!

Was hoping for a proper sipa, not just a fruited sour with some hops. Nose is green tea and red cherries. Sour, tart, sweet, dry, floral, green tea and cherry. Smooth, delicious.
