2.53/5  rDev -15.1%
look: 2.75 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.25
The appearance was a semi hazy red color with barely any head. There wasn’t any lacing. The smell had some light cranberry but nothing really tantalizing. It left a lot to be desired. The taste was somewhat bland and the cranberry was somewhat there but seemed to have displaced itself in the flavor. On the palate, it sat fairly harsh as it pummeled my tongue into submission but not necessarily in a good way. Overall, not exactly a good cranberry ale to me.

3.43/5  rDev +15.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: clear reddish / orange color with a short 1/2" head. No lacing develops.

Smell: faint cranberries are the only detectable aroma.

Taste: light maltiness, soft cranberries, and no noticeable bitterness. This beer is lighty sweet and very dry. Would be an interesting beer to drink with my Thanksgiving meal.

Mouthfeel: light-medium in body. Very crisp and dry from start to finish. The aftertaste is very short and almost clean minus a hint of cranberries.

Drinkability: so-so. This was the first cranberry beer I have had the opportunity to try and it was interesting. This beer does not taste fake as some fruit beers do. Interesting brew you should try if it is available.
