Bottle from the lcbo. Pours a Cloudy copper with a medium light beige head. Aroma is tart and fruity with some nice cereals. Light spice, cranberry is prevalent, but there are some other soft berry notes. The oat adds a nice solid mouth feel, and a soft carb. Medium bitterness, crisp and tart finish with some solid cranberry. Decent.

Found this bottle in one of my older 4-packs that was in my cellar. Pours a hazy amber colour with some golden-orange highlights. The beige head is creamy, frothy, long lasting with some good lacing. The aromas are fruity with the cranberries over sweet malts. The fruits show up even more in the flavours, which is great. Mild sweetness, mild sourness and mild tartiness. Many Beau's fruity beers lack the fruit punchiness. This one has it nicely balanced. Very nice.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out tart cranberries, with toasted malt. Flavour is loaded, with tart cranberries, and not much else. Little depth and not overly present. Meh.

Light brown, thin head. Nose is kind of nondescript, without even much cranberry. Maybe a bit of tart, and the cranberry shows up in the finish a bit..but I don’t understand the base beer...it’s not that good, adds nothing to the cranberry and the cranberry adds nothing to the base.

A reddish copper ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light cranberry notes, herbaceous hops, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with cranberry jam, light acidity, light mineral notes, very nice. On tap at brewery.
