Not great. Some light hay and not kuch else. Hazy orange pour with decent head and lacing. Clean finish. Not much cranberry but that’s probably a good thing. Tap at Boundary Stone.

375ml bottle from the brewery pours a dark orange with some light haze and a ring of white head. Nose is interesting, lots of honeycomb, lots of grapefruit pulp, some sour wood, acetic acid, booze is there - more Jenever than bourbon. Flavor has lots of honey, a distinct herbal note, the acid is both acetic and citric, grapefruit, booze. Finishes full bodied, sweet and tart. I’d love to see the gravity readings because there is a lot of unfermented honey, and that’s always been a criticism of the brewery - under attenuation. All in all though, they executed this well and they have a poor track record of hitting the mark on beers like this. Hope this means good things to come for the Illuminati program.

Bottle from Sherrys Wine and Liquor. Pours a hazy lighter orange color with a frothy beige head. Clean, yeasty aroma, with some light spice, fruit, and a light malt. Flavor is along the same lines, fairly balanced, easy drinking. Soft mouthfeel. Solid stuff.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: pours pinkish red with a pinkish head. Aroma is light notes of citrus, light funk, spice note, and less raspberry than one would expect. Taste is light sour. Raspberry is subdued. Plenty citrus. Pretty good.

Can at home a festive brew for the season. Muddled cranberry orange pour smallish head. Nose is cranberry, citrus, and toast. Tastes much the same of cranberry tartness, lemon peel, toast, grainy, tea. Dry. Watery palate. Hint of spice. Blander than would have thought.

Thanks Paul for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing cloudy currant purple with no head. The nose shows moderately intense notes of currants and grapes. The palate is light bodied and highly carbonated. Flavors of fruit forward currants and grapes with a high tartness. Not bad at all.
