jgb9348 (9218) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - DEC 8, 2021
UPDATED: DEC 8, 2021 Fairly hazy orange and copper coloured body with a thick, five to six centiemtre tall off-white head that rises large and then fades fairly quickly, finishing at around a centimetre tall over the beer that stays firm and leaves an ugly, oily lace on the sides. Aroma of soured, tart cherries with a lot of dryness from malt, but the fruits obviously drive this without any real maltiness noticeable nor any sweetness - this is a dry, easy-drinking, wheatie tart cherry beer. Light-bodied; Strong tart and soured cherry notes dominate here with a lot of dry funk and yeast qualities with a little floral twang and some bready notes with a touch of sugars at the end, but this is fairly mild throughout. Aftertaste is cherry-focused with the tartness and slight sweetness coming through with a minor dose of sugars and a hint of bretty and lactobilly notes from the yeast at the end. Overall, a pretty mild and subdued, but tart, floral and slightly rustic finish with the cherries front and centre here without much else - absolutely no hops and not much malt either. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Bend, Oregon on 29-March-2021 for US$3,00 sampled as beer [lucky] number seven, on the 7th day of my advent calendar, at my house here in Washington on 07-December-2021.

Beaver (2291) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - OCT 9, 2021
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2021 16 oz can. Pours slightly hazy rose pink with a fizzy light pink head that goes to a thin film that leaves little lacing. The aroma is sweet fruit with some acidic sour notes and a little woodiness. The flavor is sweet sugary fruit with an acidic sour twang in the finish. The mouthfeel is fairly light bodied and watery. Overall, an OK but simplistic and watery fruit sour.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2019 Clear light cherry blush hue with a thin off white slightly pink head. Nice aroma of slightly tart mellow cherries and a delicate sour lactic kiss. Brisk flavor that pops with tart cherry and a lingering cherry fruity lactic finish. Tasty and fun and fruity and tart.

Bottle. Pale rose in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas are immediately floral, then backed by notes of lemon rind and wheat. Flavors are a blend of light pilsner malt, flaked wheat, lemon and pomegranate. Light on the palate with a lemony sourness that is quite refreshing.

Bottle shared by Pinkzambia slightly hazy light pink. Dry and clean Berlinner but the raspberry flavor was a bit medicinally and chemically. Just OK
