"Sour ale fermented with Blood Orange, Cranberries, cinnamon, and Madagascar Vanilla Beans"
A - Quite a deep dark red probably from the use of both blood orange and cranberry. Head is minimal just a 1/4 that fades into nothing.
S - Smell is rather sour overbearing in fact I don't smell any of the cinnamon or vanilla seems like unnecessary additions since you used so many sour fruits.
T - Vanilla shines through which is quite awkward overall. Like a subtle sweetness that cuts through all the sour from the two fruit bodies. If their was any cinnamon it's completely lost to the assault of flavors.
M - Quite smooth as expected for a sour medium but still with plenty of tang

Overall this beer was a real assault to the senses and was one of the most interesting sour ales I have had in some time. Really wish I could get the whole Lebowski with the cinnamon but it was lost. Well worth the price of admission.
