look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
A - Two fingers of tightly packed crisp slightly rocky white foam... Solid retention ultimately gives way to a full rich lacing... Very pale whitish gold straw color... Quite hazy... Slightly lighter at the bottom of the glass and darker at the top... Still without any noticeable carbonation... Just a little bit foam clings to the sides of the glass...

S - Predictable wheat base... Slightly sweet... Candied cherries... Just the faintest hint of cranberries... Some minor spice notes in the form of cinnamon and nutmeg...

T - Sourdough pretzel... Cranberry... Cinnamon... Nutmeg... A nice tart finish is a wonderful compliment to the overall slightly sweet flavor....

M - Light to medium bodied... Smooth carbonation with the slightest bite... Crisp... Fills mouth evenly and fully... Ever so slightly on the dry side...

D - An interesting and enjoyable witbier... The cranberry adds a much appreciated layer of complexity, but it is the spices that really make this brew memorable... Also quite sessionable at 5% ABV... It's a shame that this is only a limited release... Nice work Carissa...
