Bottle. Pinkish orange color. Cloudy. Berries, vegetable notes and some yeast in the aroma. More outspoken berries in the tart flavor. Hardly any sweetness. Some yeast. Decent.

Good creamy-tinted head, dense, over hazy dark-orange beer. Mild fruit nose, aromatic, with background notes of fresh hops, and orange rind. Citrussy taste and, in this case, really a zeste flavour - from oranges, blue curaçao, molidng oranges,... There’s coriander in there, but it blends in to perfection. What I cannot find are the cranberries... The hops are nearly gone in the taste too, but replaced by a slight, lively acidity. Rather burning MF, high carbonation and CO² feel. Medium bodied, end acidity. FOR THE RECORD: this is a nice beer. But who is bediviling whom??? I cannot detect the cranberries, but worse, their own ingredients’ declaration, rather extensive, doesn’t mention any at all. Is this just commercial catch-the-eye?
