Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy violet to amber color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off to leave some light lace.
Aroma: some cherries, cranberries and slight citrusy tones - the tart and sour aspects, an ever so slight whiff of lactose
Flavor: the tart and sour character of the cherries, cranberries & citrusy accents play with some lactose creamy sweetness; slight aftertaste of cranberries, cherries and lactose
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, lactose tries to smooth some of the tartness on the tongue but does it? Well, let's just say it's a decent effort. Finishes tart/sour with the cherries & cranberries
Overall: seemed like this was one of the precursors to pastry sours, and I don't mind this one, I believe I could come back to.

Illegibly-dated can, drunk 3/17/22. Fairly clear, fire truck red with some deeper garnet-cranberry tints. Thin, pink/beige head quickly fizzles out. Bright cherry, less, but still noticeable, cranberry and gentle base malt sugars give a tart, fruity, expressive and balanced nose that is free from overly punchy acids, cheap lactic character or messy/weird lactose. Soft, juicy, well-attenuated flavor shows bright cherry giving heavy fruitiness and lots of pulp/puree character. Cranberry injects stronger but still balanced acidity/tartness while base malts add honey and cracker. Very minimal lactose is great and I love that this isn't a cloudy mess of a kettle sour. Tight, clean and focused.
