Just had one tonight. Very nice and tart. Not very sweet at all. Nice sour, not lip puckering but it is sour for sure. Didn't get a hint of heat. Worth picking up a few as they will age nicely. Big cherry and malt backbone.
Really enjoying this as well.
Personally, I thought this could be more on the sour side for my liking.

Light bodied (would like a heavier palate) with a moderately tangy acidty, overall more dry than lemony. The moderate cherry is good and harmonizes or even gets slightly lost in the sour-dry and lightly herbal tastes.
This is the problem mahcinesquad - EVERY sour is not sour enough or too sour for most people. This could be more sour and I'm moderate. I might score this almost equally with Goudenband although it seems to have less body.
Not one I'd be long-aging but only buy to drink over next few years.
