Super cerveza. Me tomo 10. Aunque quedaría bien borracho con sus 11 grados. Todas sus notas aromáticas y en sabor están presentes. Muy buena!

Nice. BBA fruit beer with cherries, cranberries, and orange. The bourbon really pops on this on. Getting ready for the Okla State game. Cowboys against the Aggies..... Go cowpokes.

Decided to sort some cards from the 80s and 90s. Corey might need your help with these basketball cards. Thx Jason for this banger

Almost more like a cocktail than a beer. Ample cranberry and orange. Signature Founders bourbon barrel, both good and bad. Perfect balance of sweet/boozy and tart. 4.2+ Definitely a fun beer. Glad I have 3 more.

Cranberry and orange peel are prominent on the nose. Even more so on the palate with other hints of dried fruit. More juicy than I was expecting. Would make a great summer beer even you take away the Cranberry

Does it taste like beer? Not really, no. Is it very tasty and festive, and a bit boozy? Yes. If you like festive drinks and the tang of cranberry, this is a good drink.

That is tart. Lots of cranberry, some orange and booze.

A barrel aged fruit beer. You have to be in the mood, but this is good

Festive, and the cranberry blends rather well with the oak aging. Tartness is about as much as I care for in a beer.

Airy aroma: tart cranberry, orange peel, bit of oak & bourbon then unexpected sweetness. Little carbonation. Smooth flavor: cranberry, orange, oak, bourbon w/ faintly sweet finish. Dangerous ABV hidden. Not bad, but hard to tell that it's a beer.

Complex fruit beer, pleasant cranberry along with a slightly hotter orange. Fun drink.

NCAA is getting what they deserve by leaving out FSU. The arrogant whinny Bama babies don’t deserve to be there. And as for sign stealing, every team does it. It’s part of sports. This year, Go Blue!

Fruit beer is a deceiving term. This is a barrel aged ale with fruit notes.

Tart cherry and boozy with a lot more orange presence than cranberry. Like an alcohol Cheerwine pop. Supposed to emulate a cranberry old fashioned cocktail.

Oof. All cranberry all the time. The barrel aging struggles to even make a dent. I saw this was a 100 rated beer by beer advocate. I get that it's unique but i don't think it a great beer.

If you think of it as a fizzy cocktail, it works. As a beer, not so much.

This is interesting. On first sip it tastes like straight cranberry juice. Then some orange and cherry join the party, but cranberry is the dominant flavor. Not sure I’d say I like it enough to seek it out, but is definitely interesting.

One of the final beers before an extended dry run. A fine tarty fruit beer. Only the best from Founders. Cheers to 2024 and Happy New Year to all! 🍻

Thought I would like this better than I do. Nice start with the cranberry, but didn’t like the finish. Not enough bourbon flavor for me.
