Bottle care of Jimmy. Thanks man! Pours a clear pinkish red with a finger of pink white foam that lingers. Lovely tart cranberry aromas with some earthy, funky cobweb aromas. More of the same on the palate, fermented cranberry and earth with some horseblanket flavors. A touch sweet, but enjoyable.

Bottle from Hoppymeal, thanks! Cranberries in the aroma. Sour flavor with red berries, cranberries and lemon. Soft bitter notes from the cranberries. Longish sharp citrus aftertaste. Hints of oak and vanilla. Quite likeable.

This beer pours a slightly cloudy dark red color with a medium fizzy off-white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Tart berry, yeast and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of tart cranberry, slightly funky yeast, oak and doughy malt. The finish is tart with a cranberry aftertaste. Pretty good beer all around.

(Thanks, Drake! "Drake") Bottle. A- Cranberry, funk. A- Dark pink color, hazy liquid, minimal head. T- Cranberry, acidic, tart. P- Light body, average texture, slightly effervescent carbonation, tart finish. O- Vintage 2018 and drank fresh. Sorta wish I would've sat on this and seen if it ages like a true lambic can. Pretty tasty. More sour as it warms. A bit of funk definitely balances out the sweetness.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/15/2016. Pours slightly hazy reddish/pinkish/orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light pink head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tart/tangy cranberry, raspberry, cherry, lemon, green apple, red grape, hay, straw, grass, pepper, oak, wheat, cracker, light leathery funk/vanilla, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of cranberries, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrel, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/tangy cranberry, raspberry, cherry, lemon, green apple, red grape, hay, straw, grass, pepper, oak, wheat, cracker, light leathery funk/vanilla, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tartness and light yeast/tannic oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of tart/tangy cranberry, raspberry, cherry, lemon, green apple, red grape, hay, straw, grass, pepper, wheat, cracker, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of cranberries, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrel, and moderate pale malt flavors; with an amazing malt/tartness balance, and zero astringent/puckering flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/dry, acidic/creamy/grainy, and lightly tannic mouthfeel that is insane. Absolutely perfectly balanced. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is an insane fruited sour ale! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of cranberries, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrel, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modest acidity. Absolutely perfectly balanced flavors with incredible complexity. A highly amazing offering.

Thanks Virby44 for the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing moderately filtered cranberry red with a finger and a half of cranberry tinged white foam. The nose shows a tart cranberry notes with strong steel tank notes. The palate is light bodied and highly carbonated. Flavors of strong cranberry with a light sweetness and moderate tartness. Not puckering - well balanced flavors all around and fruit forward enough to keep it interesting. Maybe a bit too sweet for the style but the sweetness feels natural coming from the cranberries.

Bottle. Sweet tart lactic cranberry/lemon aroma. Hazy deep rose with a moderate pastel pink head. Sweet tart, slightly musty lactic berry/lemon flavor. Body on the lighter side of medium, moderate carbonation. Phenomenal!
