Great Taste of the Midwest 2017. Lots of sugar in the aroma, quite sweet. Low carbonation and with the sugar comes strong alcohol aroma, which also impacts the flavor and the palate. Moderate cherry throughout. it was described as a sour but I do not find it particularly tart at all. Maybe it would get there with time. Still, a rich dessert beer.

12 ounce can. Hazy orange, large creamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of pine, orange, grapefruit. pale malt. The taste is grapefruit, lemon, pale malt with a bit of graininess. Medium bodied, crisp, moderate lingering bitterness, well balanced. Solid. But then again I just had a CIB, so maybe this crap and just tastes good by comparison. ;)
