Nov 21, 2009 12oz bottle. Light filtered pink-orange color. Mellow cranberry aroma. Solid cranberry and Brett taste. Very light and easy drinking, which is very true to style I suppose. A little light in the ABV department and very sweet, a slightly better version of all the cheaper Belgian fruit Lambics, albeit with that rugged taste tube sourness. The sour aftertaste really sticks with you. A pretty cool addition to the New Glarus fruit beer family, but didn,t really blow my socks off.

Nov 18, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear glowing... well... cranberry juice color with a nice thick frothy white foam. Aroma is strong lactic, yogurt, saw dust, some cranberry, but overall that’s a hard aroma to place, mostly lightly tart yogurt, similar to some of Upland’s lambics in aroma. Flavor at first is sharp and very tart crisp cranberry, very bright, immediately followed by smooth yogurt and cedar, finishing like cranberry yogurt, very nice, quick finish with a tart and quite sour aftertaste, leaves nice sourness on the gums. Medium bodied with very sharp and crisp sizzling carbonation.

Nov 18, 2009 12 ounce bottle thanks to MatSciGuy, thanks a ton man. Pours a clear golden color with hints of red, a medium white head. The aroma is sweet woody oak, loads of cranberries. The flavor is great; a explosion of smooth and sweet oak, vanilla, earthy flavors, then the fresh and superb cranberries kick in- a wonderful mix. Unique, the wood really comes out, smooth and rich berries mix in so well. Lovely.

Nov 15, 2009 Bottle: Pours a bright pinkish orange with a spotty-lacing forth of white head. Aroma abounds with fresh tart cranberries and buttery, woody oak along with some light horseblanket funk. Starts with a soft pale malty sweetness with good fruit balance and lots of tart oaky flavor before a slightly puckering drier finish. Reminds me a light of their Unplugged Enigma with a lighter fruit character. Good complexity throughout and should age very well. A great beer and a steal for the price.

Nov 14, 2009 Bright red color with a pink head. Aroma is sweet oak cranberries. Flavor is the gem here with a nice tartness to balance out the sweetness of the beer. Finish is very dry and leaves the sourness of the beer on your palate. Excellent beer. Not quite better than the Belgian Red, but I would put it above the Raspberry Tart.

Nov 14, 2009 Just saw this at the store and bought in a 4-pack. Pours a light red with less than a finger of head; keeps a light lacing throughout the beer. Nose is floral with fruit. Taste is delicious - a very good lambic. Not too sweet, but not exceedingly tart as might be expected from a cranberry beer. A hint of oak in the flavor as well. Very good.
