A precise blend of beer, fresh cranberry and mandarin orange juice. A light and effervescent beer that is easy to drink and is thirst quenching with a tart, clean finish.

Cloudy red-tan color; looked a bit like a mix of tomato juice and beer. Formed a pink head that quickly dropped down to a skiff across the surface. Thin fringe of lacing with fine bubbles. Medium flux of medium sized bubbles visible at the side of the glass.
Smells fruity, but I can't identify it. Sweet and sour mix. Mild perfume. Swirling the glass kicked up more fruit (still can't identify it) and a bit of sweet barnyard funk.
Sweet, sour, and bitter cranberry at the flavor front. A very mild mandarin orange joins in and then dominates through the tart aftertaste. There is a light malt that ensures this doesn't just taste like a cooler.
Strong carbonation for tongue tingling, but it foams up more like a soft drink than a beer. Somewhat astringent.
Overall this is a good choice for a seasonal (winter) radler. It reminds me a bit of sturm (young fermenting wine) in Austria, which is also seasonally appropriate. This could be a good alternative drink for the non-beer drinker.
