Bottle shared by my brother: pours very pale reddish with almost no head. Aroma is cherry and lime aromas along with wood, light funk. Not a very huge aroma. Taste is sour and quite acidic. Light cherry and lime notes. Nice finish. I wish it was less acidic.
Definitely sessiony light but solid like and cherry.

375mL bottled Feb 2021, drunk 7/14/21.
Bright, light pink, good clarity with a small, pinkish-tinted head that shows low retention.
Nose is chalk-full of cherry. Lots of cherry but it doesn't dominate. Lime helps cut some of the perceived sweetness and the bacterial influence is moderate. No acetic character and only mild lactic and moderate Brett-derived acids. Malts are soft and balance gently, adding light honey, cereal-like grain/biscuit and it finishes with soft, but lovely cherry and mild lime notes. No alcohol or flaw.
Big cherry flavor, unsurprisingly, with very light lime zest that seems to create less lime character than the juice would and I think that works really well as it lets the cherry shine and keeps the beer from getting too acidic (lime can dominate/ruin very quickly). Soft, malty texture with fairly tight carbonation and good attenuation. Soft, mild but still full of cherry and Brett flavor. Honey and biscuit-like malts gently keep things in balance. Excellent. Tons of flavor for its size.
