440ml can. Pours a deep clear pink with a fizzy drink style pale pink head, blink and its gone. Aroma is fruity sour beer, cherry if you think hard. Beer is light, moderately sour and fruity. I'd struggle to pick it as cherry over say plum and the marzipan is so subtle i can't find it.
A slightly disappointing cherry sour, and almost identical to the Beer Baroness version, fine to drink but not as good as I'd hoped (I love cherries).

Bottle shared in our van. Clear golden with short lasting white head. Dank weedy hops, lychee, light crisp malts, light grassy, quite some peach and green plum. Light crisp fresh bread crust (Euro bread that is). Under medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium bodied with crisp feel. Very hoppy pils, nice.
