Bottle, at share, “thanks” to Chris D. Pours copper. Sugar, raspberry, cranberry, tartness, sweet, bad synthetic fruit beer. Medium body. I hoped for comedy but it’s just bad.

From Dec 2005
Poured in glass(room temp) with a smallish head that dissipated quickly. The colour is a cloudy reddish gold.
The smell is of some kind of sweetness that isn't all that attractive.
The taste is an unpleasant sweetness that has some sourness to it but that's not a saving point in this case. My goodness, this is a very difficult to drink concoction. Maybe serving this at very cold temps would help? Blech.

From old tasting notes. Amber gold color with a pinkish head. Small bubbly white head. Tangy, fruity malt nose. Zesty tart malt palate. The tartness is offset by a hoppy bitterness that comes in the midtaste. Little finish or aftertaste to speak of. Pales in comparison to the Belgian Lambics.

Paid $2 for this beer at Undun Beer Store in West Lebanon, NH. Gave to my GF and we split it
A - No head, Yellow / orange + some hazey cranberry red color
S - Smells like wood soaked in cranberry juice. Old / wet wood.
T - There’s some cranberry here but it’s not sour at all. No lambic properties really. Some cranberries on the outset.
M - Nice carbonation but weak at the end.
O - It’s alright. I’d drink it over Bud Light....

Bottle @ home, picked picked up at Wilbur’s in Fort Collins as a single. This isn’t in the 12 mixed pack this year, so I’m not sure if they got six packs of it and split it up or what. Incredibly cloudy, pinkish brown appearance with a pinkish cream colored head. Somewhat spicy, maple, light caramel, tart mild cranberry, red fruity aroma. Slightly tart, cranberry, light apple, kind of dull toffee, caramel, maple flavor. I thought I remembered this being a lot more tart but maybe that’s just what I thought it should be. This tastes pretty dull.

Hazy red body. White, fizzy head. Soapy, sweet aroma of berry sirup (although it looks ver watery) - unpleasant. Unbalanced flavour: moderately bitter, lightly sweet - very awkward. It has an unpleasant tweak in the bitterness. Added to that, the high carbonation makes it hardly drinkable.

bottle at the Saucer(LittleRock) pours dark orange/pink with a thin white head. Aroma is tart cranberry, wheat and booze. Flavor is thin wheat, bitter cranberry. Just flat out gross.

Had this one on our trip to Nashville. Left over from a friend’s Christmas season (as it does say best before April). Pours a hazy orange-red colour with a pale pink creamy head and has decent retention and lace. I was quite surprise to smell bananas more than anything else. I guess it is from their wheat (the same used in their Hefeweizen). The cranberries are light in the background. The mouthfeel is quite sweet and semi-syrupy. The taste of the fruit are present, but again, the strong bananas come in to take over, right into the aftertaste. I guess when this beer expires its freshness, the cranberries disappears but the wheat stays strong. Just wondering about the lambic part ??

Very weird ale. Pours a clear pinkish red. Nose and taste of cereals, cranberry juice and light breads. Rated 12/2/2000
