Bottle @ Chris_o shindig 2007. Hazy / murky medium red color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is berry sweet. (Cranbeery). Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration, refreshing. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft.

Bottled. An unclear pinkish red beer with a pink head. The aroma is sweet with notes of cranberries and wheat. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of cranberries lending it a slight acidity, leading to a dry and slightly wheaty finish. Decent.

Bottled. Grayish red colour with mediumsized white head. Big cranberries in aroma along with some wheat and malts. Flavour is bigtime red berryish sourness with some slight nectary sweet notes.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Cloudy, pink, thin white head. Some cranberry/cereal on aroma. It’s actually alright, a bit sweet, in fact overly sweet. Bit over the top.

Bottle. Pours a brownish pink body with a pinkish off-white, small head. Nice berry nose, but be quick, it’s volatile. Sweet, berryish, yeasty and slightly spiced flavor with heather-like notes and a touch of sourness. Medium body with a little astringency. Sourish finish with berries. Odd but good, and quite full of flavors. Maybe a beer I should try once more. (080112)

Warning! Early amateur rating! Sweet honeyish beer, Fruity but not obviously cranberry. Nice.

Bottle @ Octoberfest tasting, Kolding. Pours a very muddy pale red. A small creamy pinkish head on top with good lacing. Aroma is fruity, berries. Flavour is light, wheaty, but only a little berries taste. Quite sweet, but only a little sourness from the cranberries. Only a little dryness.

Pink with a white head. Cranberry aroma, with no signs of beer. Tart cranberry juice flavour.

Opaque, very dark red with a pink head. The aroma has notes of cranberries and berry acidity. The flavour is sweetish with berry acidity and notes of cranberries - to put it short: it’s refreshing, quite charming and uncomplicated and it could be a nice aperitif! 2476
