Golden with a large foamy head. Chery, a bit musty and a hint of lemon. Medium finish and body.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Kroger in Denton, TX. Pours a clear light gold color with a white head and very good retention. Very little lacing. Indistinct aroma. Tastes like fake cherry cough syrup mixed with beer with a weird tart lime finish. Cherry and lime flavored beer? Nailed it, but why? It just doesn't work for me. Very artificial.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/5/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy red cherries, fruit skin/pits, limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of cherries, limes, pale malts, and moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy red cherries, fruit skin/pits, limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy cherry, skin/pits, limes, citrus peel/zest, cracker, white bread, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice robustness and balance of cherries, limes, pale malts, and moderate 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 zero fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, and moderately bready/grainy/sticky/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious fruited pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of cherries, limes, pale malts, and moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish; flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Nice juicy/vibrant cherry/lime fruit showcase; with a clean pils malt backbone, and nice earthy hop presence/balance for the style. Zero residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.
