Almost perfectly clear and pink coloured body with a light soapy head, about a single centimetre tall that fades quickly and shows more pink than white. Aroma of pure tart cranberries with a dash of light malt and alcohol, but the cranberries, along with the sourness and light sweetness dominate, in a good way. Light-bodied; Strong fake sugar flavours at first that show a pungent off-putting bitterness from the fake sugars more than any tart cranberries or real-fruit-based elements and only a small amount of malt/wheat and a dash of dry grass near the end. Aftertaste shows the cranberries again, but this time with more of an artificial manner with more of the flavours coming through and not the pure taste/sweetness and tartness that you'd expect from the fruit, this tastes almost like a watered down Ocean Spray juice product with a tiny bit of alcohol and funk coming through near the end. Overall, a fairly underwhelming beer that shows some flavours, but nothing horribly exciting or enjoyable throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$1,69 sampled at home in Washington on 12-January-2020 during my daughter's fifth birthday party - Happy Birthday Paige!
