355ml bottle. Pours a clear pink-amber with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of wheat malt and cranberry. Semi-sweet flavour of wheat malt, cranberry and faint spruce in a crisp, dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Plain and simple, a little weak.

Bottle. A- Manure, medicinal berries. A- Copper color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Cranberries, fake, tart, wheat, sweet. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- This was not enjoyable. The cranberry was cloying and artificial tasting and there was a strong wheat component. The spruce may have made it worse but I can't tell. Pass.

Bottle as pictured. A buck and a half at vintage. Ever so slight orange hue on clear pale. Taste is simply mild cranberry background on mild beer. Nothing special, typical fruit beer. Very good co2 tho. Metallic aroma. Not bad. Finishes with a tad of that mom's slaggy permanent hair treatment. Hides its alky content fairly well.

12 ounce bottle, 2/18/19. Hazy dark rust, thin fizzy tan head, good retention. Aroma of tart cranberry, pine. Taste is cranberry, grape, hints of spruce. Medium bodied. Simple, but crisp and pleasant. Juicy.

Bottle from Albertsons. Light amber pour, bubbly head dissipates to miniscule ring. Aroma is tart, yeasty funk with some cranberry notes. Taste is mildly tart, weak cranberry and no sign of the spruce tips.

Slightly hazy pink coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of grass, light pine (perhaps the spruce), hay and a ton of cranberry and tart fruitiness. Light-bodied; Strong cranberry flavours at first with a deep dry and robust hay and grassy finishes with some yeast noticeable, but a relatively clean and fruit-forward beer with a tiny bit of pine flavours and ending with the tart cranberry notes and not much else - very simplistic. Aftertaste shows the grain at first with only a tiny bit of the cranberries and even smaller amount of pine flavours and some lighter grassier and herbal malt notes that ends very mildly. Overall, an interesting beer that has some relatively nice notes, but perhaps a bit too easy-going and mild flavoured throughout to push out the good flavours in a strong fashion. This would be nice in the summertime as an easy-drinking fruit-beer, but too simplistic compared to other beers in the style category. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 09-November-2018 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska a few hours later on 09-November-2018.

12 oz bottle from a six pack. Aroma is dough, cranberry, wheat, chalky candy, spruce. Pours hazy orange-ish rosy pink with a fleeting white head. Taste is moderately sweet with a hint of tartness (why call it Cranberry Tart?). Creamy/watery mouthfeel. Boring, but it's not too bad.

Bottle. Hazy pale gold with a small white head. Aroma of wheat and tart berries.Taste follows nose, with the spruce tips appearing at the finish. Christmas-tree like.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours a lightly pinkish gold with a white head. Aroma is cranberry and apparently wheat - and it's not working nicely for me. Med minus body. Flavor is mildly sweet and seems more like a cranberry jam flavor where there aren't many cranberries. I have no idea why tart is in the name, unless they were thinking of pastry items. Not working nicely for me.
