This beer starts out as a dry wheat ale that is fermented with lactobacillus and saccharomyces. It is then aged in Oak barrels and undergoes secondary fermentation with Brettanomyces. The addition of New Jersey cranberries adds complexity and tart flavors, plus a hazy pink color.

Relatively clear pink and copper coloured body with a nice, three to four centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of soured and tart cranberries with a little fruit, some malt and a dose of hay with a touch of yeast towards the end. Light-bodied; Strong tart and soured cranberry flavour at first with a dash of hay, yeast, caster sugar, caramelised sugars and a touch of yeast along with a floral note near the end. Aftertaste is showing cranberry and tart, yet soured fruit like a raspberries and blackberries along with a biting sweet caster sugar flavour. Overall, a pretty sour and tart cranberry flavour with some yeast and dry notes, but a very soft and light beer in terms of malt and pungency, but very tart and fragrant beer that show a great kick that pairs well with a Thanksgiving meal. I sampled this 75 cL wax-sealed bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet Wine Cellars in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2019 for US$13,76 sampled on Thanksgiving Day, 28-November-2019, just about three years after purchase.
