12 oz. bottle, from my Secret Santa! Shared at my going away cellar clearing party. Pours a clear bronze color, with no real head. The nose is cranberries (no really, lots of cranberries), apple, and cardamom. Sweet and fruity flavor, with a light tartness. Light body, slighly acidic, crisp, syrupy, and clean. This is a very nice, balanced, fruity beer, but in a complex and delicious way.

Thanks Eric

Bottle split at Bruces pad - for the last time, thanks to that Manny G, 27/03/15. Hazed orange golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is sweet berry fruits, light acidic smoke, tangy citrics, sugary notes. Taste comprises sweet fruits, light spice, bitter orange, faint wood, sugars, raspberry jelly. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mixture of sweet and light acidic notes. So so fruit pap - not quite sure what all the fuss is with this one!

12oz bottle shared with a few friends. Poured a slightly ruby amber color with a small pink(?) head. Aroma was tart cranberries, sweet light fruit notes. Some light tartness, akin to a lambic, but not too tart. Light funky notes, a bit like cranberries and some light wild strawberries.

Bottle received in trade. Pours reddish pink with a small pinkish offwhite head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity and tiny funky with cranberries, lemon juice, dry soil, minerals and hint of barnyard. Taste is sweet, sour and fruity with crackers, cranberries, lemonade, brown sugar, hay, dry soil, minerals and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is tiny dry, tart, astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is slightly sweet, sour and fruity with crackers, lemon juice, cranberries, green apples, hay, dry soil and lemon zest. Tasty nicely balanced cranberry bomb! --- Beer merged from original tick of Thumbprint Series Cran-bic Ale on 20 Nov 2014 at 18:43 - Score: 8. Original review text: Tasty fruity beer. Nice balance between the sweetness and the tartness.
