Clear red color, white reddish head, cherry orange aroma, medium body. Cherry, cranberry, orange peel come out in that order. In the background you get some vanilla and caramel. Feel the warmth of the abv. in your belly. Nice tasty,light tart, layered

Cold and it comes in a bit stiff. Warmed up and it has a nice cranberry/orange balance.

Very interesting flavors. Thought at first a stout might be nice with these flavors rather than a ale. However, I think the ale allows the flavors of the orange, cherry and cranberry to be the star of the show.

Interesting. Feels like I’m drinking a cranberry juice cocktail with some high quality vodka. Can taste the alcohol and the medium cranberry tartness but with just enough sweetness to make it enjoyable. A great thanksgiving drink.

Strong ale w/ orange, barrel vanillin, & cranberry sauce. It works very well.

A cocktail-inspired beer…this is supposed to remind you of an Old Fashioned & they nailed it. An accomplishment hailed by all who want choices in ‘Murica!

Early favorite on the 2023 holiday beer tier list even though this one isn’t explicitly a holiday beer bc there is a ton going on here. Very tasty, perfect fruit notes, and the booziness of this beer is well covered

Not heavy on the cranberry, which is good. Very well balanced. Not overpowering at all. Nice after taste.

Very cran-berry. The barrel brings a depth that I’m appreciating.

Kind of like Highball Drifter in it's design, as expected. A heavy fruit front with booze on the back. Pretty tasty. Not one you can endlessly crush all day, but what BBA really is? Pretty interesting to say the least.
