Oliphant Brewing's The Cherry Lime Humdinger Sour

Oliphant Brewing's The Cherry Lime Humdinger Sour. 5 % ABV.
Fruited sour brewed with cherries and limes.
Oiphant Brewing, Somerset, WI.

Another intriguing label illustration that leads me to thinking, "What?" Someday, I'll get an answer. Until then, it's a puzzle.

Lightly hazed, bright reddish-hued, nearing pink, with ample froth atop.

In the nose: Light in the fruit, light in the sour. Playing it mellow, now.

In the mouth: Intense sour right out of the gate. Cherry flavor comes up, with lime taking over quickly. Big tartness grabs the palate with each new sip. Slightly sweet, largely tart, easy drinker, lightish bodied. Ends clean and dry. Quite nice.

Good fruited sour and you can drink it.
