3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with a trace white head. The aroma as dryish and tart cranberry. The flavor was very tart, sour and bitter with noticable cranberry and a light malty undertone. The finish was long, tart and sour cranberry. Decent.

Light pinky-yellow. Mild cranberry aroma. Not much in the beer department, but it’s a tasty drink. Think tis the Baja Blonde with cran. Breakfast cereal - sugarpops notes. Lightly tart. Somebody bring me a little paper umbrella...
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught and from growler. Awesome cranberry juice aroma, like a glass of juice. Little bit of malt in there, but mainly juice. Light cloudy pink body with slight pink lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Great cranberry taste from the start. Juicy is the best way to describe, with fresh cranberry notes, light malt, and just the right amount of sweetness to avoid being too tart. The best cranberry beer I’ve ever had and one of the the better lighter fruity beers I’ve had. Took a growler home.

UPDATED: JUL 11, 2008 Cheery pinkish color. Stripped of head. Questionable fruit aroma. No hint of what mirthful bliss lies within. Rapturous light tart cranberry taste, a simple delicious beer. Tart yet acceptable and cool. The flavors are curious and audacious. Decent mild tingly carbonation. Finish, what finish? Is it gone already? BLAST! Rivertowne has hit the nail on the head with this fruit beer. Get me my growler!
