On tap at 3 Stars in D.C.
Pours a pinkish orange with fine, wispy head.
Smell is slightl tart with notes of cranberries, lime and raspberries with a faint pepperiness.
Taste is yeasty and spicy with some esters and notes of cranberries and lime.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
Overall, a bit of an odd bird if you see it as a saison, this is almost more of a fruit beer. Tasty though.

Way too sweet for a saison. Cranberry is supposed to be tart and saisons are supposed to be dry. No need to add sweetness; just let the fruit taste like it's supposed to.

Pours a big fluffy foamy 2 finger head that fades at a med pace, foamy lacing, hazy cranberry pinkish color
Nose typical saison out front, grainy gristy malt, wheat, doughy notes, cracker, herbal spices and peppery phenols, a bit of citrus, fruity esters, a touch of tart cranberry
Taste brings a bit yeasty flavor, then big saison characters, grainy doughy cracker malts gristy, wheat creamy and toasty, a bit of a minerality and metallic notes, with tart cranberry, flemmy tart cranberry juice and puree, a mild phenol peppery spice note, esters drowned out by the cranberry. Finishes flemmy and tart like cranberry juice, lingering cranberry, saison flavors, and yeast
Mouth is med bod, a bit tart flemmy, decent but lighter carb
Overall about what I expected, other than the yeasty flavor which detracts from it, cranberry was better than I expected or at least stronger, saison was OK, wish it was a bit drier and less flemmy. Actually, the more I drink it the more that yeasty flavor (and mineral metallic flavor) comes through and starts to make it a bit unpleasant.

Hazy reddish orange with a light pink head.
Has a generic berry aroma. A little maltiness peeks through.
Pretty bland: a little light maltiness, a little bit of cranberry.
Pretty thin and watery.
Glad this was just something that got left in my fridge and I did't pay for it.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours cloudy orange with a slight reddish tint. Smells of wheat and fruit, especially banana. Tastes of wheat, banana, and slight cranberry, nice sour aftertaste. Beer is light bodied and very easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

From a can, pours as a hazy gold with a thin white quickly dissipating head. Aroma is like dried fruit perhaps cranberries. Taste is predominantly tart and cranberry-like. Some hops bitterness at the end. Decent carbonation and lasting flavors, but the absence of malt and yeast flavors makes this more of a novelty beverage rather than a beer.

Poured from can into glass. Looks light brown with a slight pinkish tint. hazy and almost opaque. thick head with decent lacing. smell is spicy (peppery?) from the yeast. taste has a little bit of spice and funk. cranberry is muted and almost disappointed there wasn't more cranberry in this -- tended more to the grapefruit. feels light to medium bodied, easily drinkable, and could be a year-round brew. Overall was not quite what I expected but still pretty good.
