A spiced sour brewed with cranberries, hibiscus, honey, toasted cinnamon, and cloves.

Taste: Like exploring a market in the dead of winter, your taste buds dart down avenue after avenue - toasted cinnamon alley first, sweet rich cranberry sauce next, all guided by balanced acidity. Floral notes from hibiscus leave a lingering touch before juicy cinnamon and cloves come back again.

Bottle @ Højbjerg tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is orange. Aroma and taste are oranges, hops, malt, lactose acid, fruits, spices and has a light sour finish. A bit odd.

Bottle at a Beermalade Covid Tasting no 11. Intensely spicy, overall presenting a sour cola character. The listed special spices are all present. Med-thin body, moderate carbonation. Moderate sourness, slightly tart too. Very intensely herbal. Good but not great.

Bottle. A- Christmas spice. A- Garnet red color, clear liquid, beige head. T- Mild nutmeg, clove, gingerbread, mild cranberry, subtle honey. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- No idea what the flavors were in here but after finding out, they hit this on the head. All well balanced and a spot on Christmas Ale. Very tasty. Only mildly sour and not overpowering spice either. Reminds me of baking season at grandma;s. Quality.

Bottle. Unclear reddish golden orange body with floaters and under a small off-white head. Aroma is acidic berries, tea and cinnamon. Reminds me a bit of ‘gløgg’ or mulled wine. Taste is sweet and sour with berries, spices, hint of tea and cinnamon. Quite aromatic, a bit unusually, not very complex but balanced and easy drinkable.
