Quite hazy deep rose, pink and especially purple coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of light brett, some subdued wheat and yeast and a heavier hand of the fruits, with some dry pomegranate, some cherries and mostly cranberry notes. Light-bodied; Strong dry fruit notes at first with a lot of wheat and softer yeast noticeable towards the finish with some light sweetness, a dash of tart and soured fruit, but this is all about the dry wheatie, grass notes. Aftertaste shows the fruits somewhat, but a lot of the dry malt, and while this is a bit more pungent, the beer remains very easy to drink and soft, especially on the edges. Overall, a fruit-forward beer, especially at the beginning, but showing more dry and biscuity malt notes that couple with the wheat and dry yeast that lead to a nicely packed and smooth, fruit-finish and easy drinking throughout, especially during the summer. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Trader Joe's in Falls Church (Bailey's Crossroads), Virginia on 14-September-2018 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-June-2019.
