No clumps. Tart, medium sweetness, raspberry and red cherry. Straightforward but pretty tasty, nice.

Beautiful blood-to-cranberry-red with a good cloudiness but not soupiness. Pink-tinged, off-white head fades quickly to nothing.
Cinnamon in the nose comes in on the heels of juicy, incredibly well-expressed fruits, per usual for this series. Cherry leads the way with very minor cranberry accents and light raspberry. I like that they are highlighting the more round, juicy character of the cherry rather than the other, more tart/acidic fruits. The cinnamon actually works here, despite not really being subtle. Gives an earthy character that balances everything nicely while the spiciness helps cut some of the juice. Biscuit and cereal notes from wheat balance easily. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's similar to the nose with a soft, malty, supple texture and good attenuation and integration of fruits. No excessive acidity from fruit or lactic acid. No alcohol or flaw. Can't believe the cinnamon works, but it does.

16 oz. can. Beautiful color, ruby/ pink. Aroma is cherry Kool Ade, mild cranberry sauce, cinnamon, sour wheat. Flavor is like candied cranberry juice with cherry skin, blackberries, with a mildly sweet cherry finish that is balanced by a light tartness. Pimping!
