Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: semi-cloudy amber color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: tart and sweet cranberries up front then some light witbier spicy/semi-wheaty character, subtle grassy to lemony-like hops further underneath
Flavor: leads with the sweet side of the cranberries; subtle tart side of the cranberries is further underneath along with the witbier spices (not much wheat is found in the flavor of this beer); finishes cranberry forward - sweet and tart and a light note of coriander
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; not exactly that smooth as the cranberry tartness along with the coriander seems to be distracting to my tongue ever so slightly
Overall: oddly enough, this beer mostly works. I think I could see myself coming back to it despite some assertive "feels" on the tongue.

Taster pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is pinkish hue, cloudy, small ring of foamy white head, nice lacing. Aroma is fruit, yeast. Taste is fruit, yeast, tart, sweet. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average-to-lively carbonation with yeasty, fruity cranberry finish. Overall, light and refreshing with a nice mix of sweet and tart fruit.

4oz sample at the Brewery. Pours a hazy yellow with a faint pinkish tinge to it and a frothy off white head that persists forever. Classic wit aroma with a slightly yeasty earthiness offset with some light orange and spice. Add some tart cranberries and it really adds another layer to this beer. Slightly tart a little fruity and earthy in the flavor. Light to medium body with slick tart mouthfeel and a moderate level of carbonation. I’m not a huge fan of this style but somehow adding a bit of cranberry makes this somewhat drinkable, great job North’s.
