Opaque dark pink/purple pour, with a creamy, small white head. Aroma is tart cranberries, with a big dose of vanilla pod and pithy grapefruit. Mouth feel is full, and creamy, with a light carb. Very tart, cranberry really come through with a big blast ic orange juice, and lactose.

Can. Poured a hazy, dark orange color with a small white head. Aroma was vanilla, creamy. Citrus, mostly blood orange, distinct blood orange. Not a lot of cranberry I guess, but perhaps that's more buried in the tartness more than anything. Decent stuff.

Can from Systembolaget. Slight orange aroma. Very thick juice like appearance. Like a strawberry smoothie. Taste is a mixture of cranberry, orange and vanilla obviously, which creates together a very glögg or mulled wine profile. Good bitterness from the blood orange. A bit too sweet and juice like for me though.

Can, gramophone bar, Puerto de la cruz, tenerife, Spain Sweet fruity Aroma bit like wild berries jam. Flavor is sour, ripe fresh red fruits and bit less ripe sour red fruits, cranberries, blood orange and the beer create all sorts of fruity notes. Well done.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange red with plenty of floaties and a small, foamy, short lived, pale pink head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, blood orange, cranberry and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, cranberry, pithy blood orange, vanilla, oats and floral hops in a dry, sour, acidic finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Delicious and nicely balanced between sweet and sour.

Hazy, pink-orange-red colour with a big creamyish, pinkish head, long lasting and some minimal lacing. Blood orange-cranberry nose with sourness, and the vanilla giving a little bubblegum-candy touch. The sour flavours are stronger, and lasting quite long. The cranberries seem a touch coming out more than the oranges in the taste, with the vanilla blending more than in the scent. A nice puckering, sour, fruity-vanilla beer that fits well for Christmas.
