Clear golden coloured body with a very tall, fairly rich and microfoamed five to six centimetre tall off-white head that is very nice and stays afloat for a long time. Aroma of very rich, tart and super fresh cranberry notes with a lot of unfinished sugars noticeable along with a dry, light maltiness, but not much else in the nose aside from the cranberries and sugar. Light-bodied; Super mild flavour of water, flowers, tart cranberries, caster sugar and very little else - no real malt notes and definitely no hops at all, plus a very minimal body makes this seem like a 'hard seltzer'. Aftertaste shows the super mild body with a watery feel with only some light sugar and carbohydrate note that couples with the relatively strong, but dry cranberry flavours, but even they are soft, considering there isn't any malt support at all. Overall, a very soft, deeply drying and tart beer that goes down very easily, since there doesn't seem to be any malt here at all, and only shows a simple cranberry and water bite. Not worth trying at all (even if it were free), unless it were Thanksgiving or if you were trying to find a 'beer' without any malts at all - this may be it! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 12-August-2020 for US$2,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-August-2020.
