Super bright pink and almost ruby in colour with a very thin, barely covering off-white head with barely any movement. Aroma of citrus, cranberries, tart funk, brett and perhaps some pomegranates, but fairly light throughout. Light-bodied; Strong fruity flavours dominate at first with a light citrus and cranberry, tart flavour showing a tiny bit of sourness and a very light malt bite. Aftertaste shows the dry, herbal quality with some light fruits, a touch of grain and more tart and fresh pomegranate and cranberry notes that ends nicely with some good flavours at the end. Overall, a very subdued and understated beer throughout with only the cranberry and pomegranate notes to pull this through - there is no malt, alcohol or anything substantive to make this a bigger beer - this shows as a fruit beer or a berliner Weiss, but not as a Wild/Sour at all. Nice to sample, but comparing this to others is not fair - this would be nice in 100deg F heat, but does it ever get that hot in Nebraska? I sampled this twelve ounce pour on draught at the brewpub/taproom in Lincoln, Nebraska on 12-March-2018 for US$5,00.
