Draft at NOBO Brewing. Poured vibrant red-hued orange color with a small white head. Aroma was mild tart cherries, with a healthy amount of limeaide. Flavor tasted just like a sweet tart, big tartness, sour, but with a good sweet balance to it. Not overly acidic.

Draft at NOBO Brewing. Poured matcha green tea green color, which makes sense given they're using matcha in this. Aroma was very tea like, base beer is practically hidden. Flavor is a bit too gritty - perhaps too much green tea. I like they presumably brewed this without using some kind of artificial dye, but I don't know if it fires on all cylinders.
