Pours red with a thin white lacing head. Aroma of cranberry. Taste has cranberry juice. Palate has more cranberry juice, bitter apple juice. Eh.

Very clear body with a crisp, bright rose and pink coloured body with a very thin, super fast-dying pure white head, just as you'd expect. Aroma of honey, alcohol, flowers, perfume and a good deal of cranberry and tart fruit and berry notes - quite strong with a lot of sweetness throughout, balanced by a moderate amount of tart fruits. Light-bodied; Strong tart and very fruity notes dominate with a lot of cranberries, flowers, sweet honey and caster sugar and a light hit of earth at the very end. Aftertaste shows some floral and very dry, herbal characteristics with a super pungent, dry and tea-like cranberry and tart fruit note with a light sweetness, but the tart and almost soured flavours are the strongest, in a great way. Overall, a tiny dose of apples do finally peek through, but the cranberries, honey, caster sugar and floral notes are all very strong here, and the tart fruits dominate in a nice balance - especially for the style with a light hit of alcohol here as well. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 19-March-2020 for US$3,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on a cold evening on 09-January-2021.
