12oz can from Tavour. Golden pour, fizzy head yields a diminishing cap of foam. Mild cranberry aroma, tart. Taste is fruity and sour, cranberries. Dry finish.

A - Good looking beer hazy yellow with a slight red tint head is impressive frothy thick a 1/2 inch that just dont quit.
S - Wow that smells sweet candied fruits cane sugars honestly smells like Hawaiian punch daymn.
T - I'm blown away others described this as cider like and that hits the nail on the head! Fruity sweet malty body no bitterness lots of sweet this taste just like a 5% hard cider like woodchuck to me!
M - Easy to quaff back in my hands dangerous to drink since I love me some sweet,
Overall I am actually kind of amazed they were able to get this much ABV and deliver a cider or meed experience but still classify this as a beer, For $3 bucks its an easy girly pint one could quaff back with food. Not terrible!

One of the few Turbo Shandy from HF that I haven't enjoyed. Everything was thin, felt more cider-like than any of their other Shandy that I've tried (think at least 6). This one is a miss for me. Disappointed

Pale see through cider? colored hue with a quickly gone head, doesn’t look very good honestly. Sweet fruit scent...I might not like so so much. Ya know, it’s too sweet for me but it ain’t entirely bad. It’s thin and not carbonated enough too but who’s counting. Um...no.

Aroma is big cranberries/mild citrus and a big hint of sugar/candy. The flavor is cranberries, mild citrus, malts and a very sweet/candy/sugar finish.

The appearance is a dark gold with a pale salmon hue under a tall white head that dies quickly to a still surface.
Hmm, this has a kind of sticky fruit funk, but then also a perfumey almost candle-esque cranberry that's made sweet by a sort of pineapple gummy bear note. There's not really that bitter tannin bite I was hoping the cranberry would contribute to this fairly sweet brew, but there is a light touch of tartness.
The body is medium with a soft crispness, finishing semi-sticky.
