Best by 2/1/16.
Pours a murky dark honey orange with a foamy khaki head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of cranberry juice, ginger ale, and pickled ginger aromas. Taste is much the same with cranberry juice and ginger ale flavors on the finish. There is a very mild amount of earth bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and sticky mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is drinkable, but it drinks more like a soft drink than a beer to me.
Serving type: bottle.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a small white head. Smells of cranberry with nice ginger notes. Tastes of watered down cranberry with subtle cranberry notes. Beer is easy drinking, good carbonation, light bodied. Overall, a good beer.

Tastes fine, it’s nothing special. Like it’s a good flavor but it tastes kind of artificial. The smell is also pretty artificial. I got it in a variety pack and it’s fine but nothing to get excited about.

Poured a cloudy caramel/orange color with a moderate head. It has the aroma of a cheap perfume. The taste is bitter and it has an overwhelming flavor of a cheap cherry cough medicine. The aftertaste is that of a fake sweetener such as aspartame.
