Pours like thinly mixed fruit punch drink crystals, bright pink and clear. Thankfully the cherry flavouring comes off a lot authentic. Taste is a mild aserbic sour, with cherry in the middle, with a mild biting sour and a touch of hay malt. It's a basic kettle with not much complexity to it. It just ok at best.

(500ml bottle from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours very lightly hazed pale gold with a tiny white head. Aroma of citrus zest, fresh leaves, earth, light lactic acid coupling with the citrus to give a tart aromatic punch, maybe some dried flowers in there, tough to tell if there's Brett action or not. Flavour is light to moderate tart, more citrus zest and fresh leaf vibes, wet forest, Simcoe but lower on the dank weed side, bit of earthy funk maybe, mostly lactic without much acetic component, low grassy leafy bitterness and a bit of lingering citrus in the dry finish. Light to medium body, low carbonation. Pretty light overall, not too aggressive and easy drinking as a dry hopped sour. Decent.
