Just a hint of a cranberry fruitiness under a pleasant Christmas ale. Perfect for a Merry Christmas and a Hoppy New Year.

Sampled from a 22oz. bottle. Pours a semi-clear reddish-pink orange color with a small head. A little fizzy if I can define it that way. Aroma is slightly tart, with touches of mild malt. Flavor is a touch of tart fruit, but that’s about it. Drinkable, but otherwise pretty average.

Light amber with no head. A bit of cranberry aroma and not a whole lot else. The flavour is a bit muddy tasting, with hints of cranberry. Lacking.

A nice red amber color with a thin white head. looks like a Christmas ale, but its weak fruity aroma and sweet cranberry taste left me looking for some pumpkin ale.

Bottled. Hazy amber. Sweetish aroma of lingonberries or cranberries. Fairly sweet with dense mouthfeel. The berries are accompanied by some roasty malt. Salty finish with low-medium bitterness. A quite enjoyable straightforward beer.

Bottle. Amber, slightly reddish color with a little white head. Slight cranberry aroma with some malt. Sweet malt flavor with a little fruitiness. Didn’t like the aftertaste, not exactly sacharine, but close.
