May 1, 2007 Bottle. Golden orange colour with an average short lasting head. Aroma has plenty of cranberries and some wheat. The flavour is a little sweet and somewhat sour too, plenty of cranberry. Clean fresh finish. Far from a real Belgian lambiek beer, more like a fruit flavored beer. But I guess this one is more friendly to the regular beer drinkers than a real lambiek.

Apr 30, 2007 Bottle. Not much head to this one. Aroma of cranberries is very strong. Flavor of cranberries is also strong. It has a strange taste that I liked. Definitely not for everyone, however.

Apr 26, 2007 Updated: Apr 28, 2007Bottle. Not much head, amber color. The smell of cranberries is evident as soon as you open the bottle. Has a sweet/sourness that is almost overwhelming. I had to come back and re-rate this as it seemed so much better the second time around.Not bad.

Apr 26, 2007 I am not the biggest fan of fruit beers. Somewhat drinable but no where near a good framboise

Apr 23, 2007 I can’t believe they still brew this stuff. I’m a big fan of cranberry juice and muffins, whatever. But I can’t stand this beer. Seriously, every year I get them in teh Holiday pack, and every year they sit in the fridge. Weeks go by until I run out of beer. So I say, ok, i’ll give it a shot again. And every year it’s the same horrible beer. haha

Apr 23, 2007 Bottle. Light smell of cranberries, wheat, not overwhelming. Tastes slightly sour with a cranberry kick and a sweet aftertaste. Too sweet for my liking, though not a terrible beer.

Apr 23, 2007 Bottle part of a holiday pack. Pours orange in color with small whitish head. Aroma was fruity not necessarily just cranberries. Flavor is TOO SWEET. I get a touch of malt, some vanilla, with the cranberries. Light mouthfeel. Not one of my favorite SA brews.

Apr 15, 2007 Tasted 22/10/2006. 330ml bottle from BrewNZ. Only just found the notes.
Peachy-gold without a head, though it has a light off-white lace. Sweet lolly-like malt, a little wheat, some sweet cranberry juice, berryfruit, sugar syrup and beans. Sweet with a slight tart edge in the mouth. Slight astringency, probably from cranberry skins, and a mild sourness that lingers. Too sweet. Light and spritzy in the mouth, without being too fizzy. Overall impression is that this is a little too much like "alcopops".
