Good but disappointing. Needs to be sweeter from the fruit.

This has mixed reviews. Def polarizing beer. Not much on aroma. Slight grape. First sip -tart cranberry. Followed by bitter citrus pith & some spice notes. Keep it on the top of the tongue & its great. If it reaches the sides it’s like burnt caramel.

This is a fun twist on an old fashioned! It doesn't give direct old fashioned tastes, but there's some nice bourbon and orange flavors that's paired up with a strong dose of cranberry. The cranberry is forward, but doesn't overpower. Bagaria approved!

Definitely does NOT come across as 11%! So smooth and tasty. No booziness. Get the orange nose and the cran-cherry body.

You get the orange and cranberry. Cherry is a lil lost in it all. Very tasty!

Tarty and light tasting despite the abv. Nice choice with your charcuterie. A little sun would have been nice

Sweet, tart, and then some heat from spices and booziness. This is a sipper. Another stellar brew from Founders. I simply don’t think Founders can make a bad beer.

All the fruit comes through on the nose, but flavor is dominated by cranberry and has some bitter notes coming from cranberry or orange peel

Cranberry forward, oak and orange peel as it warms. Slightly tart with a nice malt backbone. Nice brew.
