Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy pale plum flesh hue with a thin head that fades to leave sudsy wisps.

S - Aromas of vanilla and cinnamon. The plums are faint stone fruit and the cranberries are lightly tart.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of tart tart cranberries. Cranberry juice, tons of tart stone fruit pit.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, creamy, very pleasant.

O - Overall this was a decent beer with great tart notes. The only knock is how yeasty it is.

Thanks to rudzud

very small fizzy foamy head fades very quickly, little lacing, super murky blood-orange ruby red color

Nose super tart, some citrus blood orange, faint mineral like and sulfur notes, mild caramel candy toffee thing with loads of tart fruit, very light flash of berry

Taste mild sweet candy but loads of tart berry, cranberry but also a generic tart berry, little earthy berry skin, generic wild berry, boisenberry, plum, plum pit and maybe the tartness from cranberry, flash of cinnamon, candy like but not sweet, after a while it gets this weird yeasty papery thing, but just a touch

Mouth is med to fuller bod, creamy carb, but flemmy finish

Overall not bad, wish the cranberry was a little more prominent, but otherwise fairly nice
