Bottled. Poured clear light-medium golden with a short-lived white head. The aroma picked up sweetened lemons and cranberries plus a bit of tart lemonade.. toasted grains supported.. ok. The flavor found tart lemons and cranberries on the tip of the tongue, with sweeter lemon and pale malts behind.. finished sweet, yet fairly refreshing. Light-bodied and a little too sweet on the palate.. felt alright overall.

Special tapping at 3 pm. On draught during GTMW 2010 Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear pale yellowish straw colored brew with a thin white head that has some good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweetened lemonade and dark berries, light bready malt and no detected hop character. Taste is medium bodied, smooth, soft-carbonated with a blend of lemonade and dark berry flavor. Finish is semi-sweet with golden grain malt, lemon and berry aftertaste. Taste more of a dark sweet berry shandy than a tart cranberry shandy.
