Beautiful pink and ruby (of course!) coloured body with a bright pink glow like the outside of a dragonfruit, even complete with an almost white head, not as pure as the flesh of the aforementioned fruit, but close - very nice looking throughout. Aroma of cranberries, cherries, lemons, limes, yeast, light malt and a dash of biscuits, along with a touch of support from the wheat and coriander seed for freshness. Light to Medium-bodied; Very pungent and tart cranberries and pomegranate dominates with a lot of dryness as well from the very subdued malts and the fruit choices with some tart lime and citrus elements as well, all finishing with a kiss of sweetness and a very crisp but nuanced fruit bite that gives this a tart, but drying profile that lasts for quite a while. Aftertaste shows the dry and herbal qualities at first, but more of the smooth and nuanced wheat and coriander seed freshness that gives a nice balance for the soft and structured fruit that comes through as tart notes, both from the pomegranate and cranberries, but more from the limes. Overall, a very nice beer that's almost perfect for this day and for the season, even though it was marketed during the summertime, which is probably okay as well, but given how hot Thanksgiving's are here in Washington, this isn't a bad option! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 25-September-2020 for US$4,76 sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-November-2020 as my wife and I prepare Thanksgiving dinner for the extended family.
