Poured a clear orange color with a small wispy head. Aroma was some sweet malts, light herbal notes, with some cranberry. Pretty subtle, very light and easy to drink.

Bright, fairly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a smallish one to two centimere tall off-white head that fades down to just about nothing after a few minutes. Aroma of cranberries (surprise, surprise), raspberries, light lager yeast, some biscuits and a dash of pure caster sugar. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp tart cranberry flavour at first with a light wheat finish showing some grain and a bit of sugars near the end without a lot of complexity throughout. Aftertaste shows some light tart elements, a bit of omplexity and bitterness and a minor amount of sweetness. Overall, a decent beer with some very minor and moderate flavours of funk, malt, biscuits and especially tart cranberries and raspberries that finish moderately well-balanced. Not necessarily recommended to find, but a decent beer if you like lighter and sweeter beers and of course ones with additional cranberries added. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Trader Joe's in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 7-December-2017 for US$1,92 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 27-January-2018 in Pungoteague, Virginia.

$1.92 bottle from Trader Joe's, Charlottesville. Pours clear orange-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is green and brown leaves, grass, light fruity notes. Flavor is brown leaves, dying grass, cereal, glue, light cranberry. Fine, and from what I remember better than the original, but nothing special.
