It had an orange look with a white head. It had sweet cranberry smell. The taste was very dry with a grainy/bread sort of taste. It had a sour finish that killed it for me.

Had on tap at the brewpub. Nothing special, and not very cranberry either. I was really hoping for more tart/fruit flavor.

tap at the brewpub. poured a pale orange with not much head or lace. mild fruit flavor and hops are virtually non-existent. little carbonation with a tart dry finish. not one of Blue Cat’s better efforts.

Draught at the brew pub. Clear orange-brown color with a thin off white head that didn’t leave much lace behind. Smelled of light clove and dried fruit (not necessarily just cranberry, though). Had a definite Belgian-esque flavor with clove and subdued cranberry flavors accented by toasted bread. Tart, fruity finish.

Red-orange with a medium white head. Tart cranberry aroma with sweet malt intermingled. Very dry, with strange rye bread flavors. Sour finish.
