Pours a hazy pinkish-red color with a medium pinkish-white head that burns away steadily to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of cranberry, yeast and malt. Light to medium body with a tart cranberry character and notes of mildly funky yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart and oaky with a cranberry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Red color. Plastic in the aroma and the flavor. Dry, some fruit. Plastic flavor isn't great but otherwise this is ok.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a kool-aid like clear red with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sour cranberry with a bit of sweet grains and a light barrel. Flavor is quite sour with cranberry, has a bit of acid and a light barrel note.

Bottle thanks to Team Wisconsin. Pours a gorgeous ruby with small pinkish head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong berry, funk, oak. Thin mouth, very sour, cranberry, light funk and oak, very nice.

Poured from a bottle. Aroma is nice with some medium light funk and a bit of acidity. Light lemon notes with a bit of an light herbal, funky note. Light oak with some cranberry notes. Pours a nice bright pink color with some haze and medium sized, thin, slightly ink head that recedes to the edges where it lingers a bit. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is nice with medium acidity, but soft with some medium light lemon citrus notes. Moderate cranberry notes that work nicely with the acidity. Some light oak and funk notes. Light bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice cranberry sour with faint funk notes. Nice, soft beer with a bit of acidity that works nicely. Needs more funk though, but this is otherwise great.

750ml. Unfiltered pink-red body. Cranberry tones are big, but the sour tones dominate the overall experience in a sort of unruly fashion. OK.
