Had this months ago but didn't take notes. Re-reviewing. 473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. Canned August 31, 2020.
Appearance - mildly hazy golden / orange brew with a finger of short lived head coalescing into a tiny frothy cap. No lacing to speak of and some bubbles continuously rise to the surface.
Smell - Cranberries for sure with some light floral touches otherwise. Possibly lemon flourishes as well.
Taste - Lots of cranberries again, something earthy mixed is well and finishes more sour and tart with cranberries aided with lemon. Some wheaty sweetness lurking mid-sip. Strawberry is another flavor that is present although subtle.
Mouthfeel - Tart and sour, lip puckeringly sour. Body is medium and fairly heavily carbonated making this a bit gassy.
Overall - Decent sour that does use cranberries well, but not necessarily a brew I'd want to come back to time and time again. A smidge better than I remembered it.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Oct 4 2019 and served barely chilled. Bit of a gusher, but one of the (many) nice things about cans is that the tab lever makes it real easy to let off the pressure without making much of a mess.
Pours a turbid, pale yellow colour, topped with more than a finger of fizzy white foam that melts away in less than ninety seconds' time. A frothy collar is the only remnant of note, with little in the way of lace; looks like a typical kettle sour to me. A little tart on the nose, with notes of cranberry, apricot and lemony lactic acidity making up the bulk of the bouquet, and grainy, gritty, wheaty malts filling in the remainder.
Nothing unexpected here - it's tart, mostly due to the lactic acidity, with notes of lemon, stone fruit and strawberry coming through alongside a decent amount of cranberry. There's some light wheat malt sweetness underneath, but the fruity-sour aspects are what dominate the flavour profile start to finish. Concludes tart, without much of that astringency that I tend to associate with cranberries. Light-ish in body, with active carbonation that prickles the palate and froths up in the mouth a tad; a little overcarbonated, but it's manageable and not particularly bloat inducing. I don't dislike this beer, but I don't have a lot of meaningful compliments to give it, either.
Final Grade: 3.58, a B grade. Whitewater's Wild Bog is a decent kettle sour, but I preferred their Blood Moon sour over this one. The lively mouthfeel works out alright, and the cranberry is a nice complement for the acidity, but overall this sour doesn't do anything novel or interesting enough to justify a repeat purchase. That being said, I'm pretty sure a new flat of this appeared at my local shop last week, so hopefully I'll be updating this review in the near future... after all, this serving is at least four months old, and sometimes a fresh sample can really make a difference.
