Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: orangey hazy color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: cranberry tart & sweet whiffs with earthy & piney hops backing that up and a sly malty backbone
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart to bittersweet quality; finishes with the cranberries & piney/earthy hops
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; light smoothness, nice low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done DIPA with cranberries, I'd return to this.
