1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 3/19/12
Aroma: It has something cranberry-like that isn’t exactly cranberry and something that is very medicinal (Robitussin?), the cranberry Robitussin overpowers anything else that may be present in the nose here...
Appearance: It pours a transparent reddish-amber color with a small off-white head and no lace
Flavor: The taste, much like the nose, is a rather unusual combination of sweet and medicinal
Palate: Light bodied, with average-to-soft carbonation, a cloying stickiness, and an unpleasant finish
Overall Impression:
I’m sure this stuff would have made for great medicine in Chris Rock’s house, but as beer it didn’t work at all. No ’Mo Tussin Beer, and since I don’t have anything else to say about this one:
"l broke my leg, Daddy poured Robitussin on it. Yeah, boy, let that ’tussin get in there. Yeah, boy, let that ’tussin get on down to the bone. The ’tussin ought to straighten out the bone. lt’s good. If you run out of ’tussin, put some water in the jar, shake it up, MO ’TUSSIN!"
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Disappointing. Captures the the tannins of the cranberries more than anything. Very one-dimensional. Better when coupled with hearty or heavily-seasoned food.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
12oz. Bottle: Aroma of cranberry, malt, and caramel, Earth, and a hint of vomit. Poured deep amber/copper in color with a small to medium-sized, creamy, dense, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling to very sparkling. Flavor is slightly sweet. Tastes of malt, and a hint of cranberry. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Malt finish. Pretty gross.

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.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle at home. tulip at fridge temp. pours a 1 finger creamy head that doesn’t fade. Looks like burnt plums in the body. candied cranberry fake syrupy taste. tart on the nose. semi-sweet. Taste is very sweet up front, tart and dry at the finish. Middle is like cough syrup.
1.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Wow. I usually don’t care for fruit beers, but if found this one REALLY offensive. Smells like robotussin cough syrup. Tastes worse. Very fake fruity tartness. Drainpour.
