440ml can. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is cranberry, fake sugar. The flavour is over moderate sour, with a crisp, super tart cranberry, herbal, light cardamom palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. Way to sour to drink in any kind of volume.

Can, big dense bubbly head, cloudy light red to orange colour, red fruits and green shrubs, with a medium mellow fruity sourness. Nice and very easy.

Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Pink, a little hazy with a big floofy white head. Aroma is... whoa. I was not expecting that!! Smells like potpourri. Christmas spices. Pine needles. Oh yeah. Cranberry. This is a Christmas beer. Taste is super spicy with clove, clove, clove, nutmeg and clove. But there is a decent bit of cranberry souring it up. Long sour fruity/clovey finish. Noy overly keen on Christmas spices in late February but overall not a terrible beer.

Keg @ Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Hazy golden-amber colour with a head. Fair sourness, fruit with a flavoursome berry flavour, not necessarily cranberry heavy in this respect but a decent sour nevertheless.

Rocky white head on a vivid deep golden coloured body.
Cranberry, rose, floral & lime tastes with earthy finish. Not for me.
