Bottle. Poured reddish brown color and an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate tart fruit and dough aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium tart fruit flavor with a medium tart finish of moderate duration. Refreshing fruit beer.

Bottle: pours a transparent deep amber with ruby hues and a stringy-lacing white head. Has a lightly sweet biscuity malty nose with some light fruity notes and a touch of tartness. Starts with decent fullness and pale malty sweetness with a good cranberry tart balance before a drier doughy finish. A pretty true to style and drinkable brew.

Pours deep coppery with ruby highlights and a 2-finger frothy white head. Nose is caramel malt, earthy, slight cranberry. Tastes not very good at all, with an overpowering fake cranberry flavor, a lot of sticky cloying flavors, and a crappy finish. This one isn’t very good.

12 ounce bottle from State Line Liquors. Pours a clear rust color with a large fizzy tan head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of cranberry, pomegranate and grainy malts. The taste is cranberries, cherries, faint bready malts and a faint bit of roast character. Bitter earthy hops. Medium bodied.

Pours copper with a pinkish/tan head. Smells of carnberries, earthy, peppery, some caramel. Tastes of pepper, tea, biscuity, some cranberry hints. Dry, earthy finish. Weird.
