Bourbon gives it an Old Fashioned flavor

This delivers a great cranberry cocktail sipper! Not complex on the finish which makes me think this would be a 5 with some more aging

A bit boozy, but good otherwise. Plenty of cranberry and a hit of orange. Now I just need turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and some gravy.

It's fruity and clean but boozy and delicious. This kind of beer normally has diminishing returns, but this one doesn't. Fantastic

Very interesting beer. Slightly tart, and very delicious. It maybe the perfect Thanksgiving beer. The cranberry really shines. Super drinkable, very tasty!

Very sweet, a bit boozy, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Interesting brew. Ale aged in bourbon barrels with a strong initial cranberry taste. The bourbon barrel aging offsets the fruitiness of the cranberry. Generally not a fan of fruity beers but pleasantly surprised with Cranfather. Ideal fall seasonal.

Whew! This is freaking good! Maybe it is just me but this is hitting all the spots right now! The smell, taste, mouth feel, all of it is bullseye. Founders has never disappointed but dang they did something fun here.

From last night. Hides ABV incredibly well. Plenty of cranberry flavor. Lands somewhere between a cocktail and a fruity wine. Cranberry definitely makes it appealing for thanksgiving and the cranberry, orange combo will work for Christmas as well.

Part of it I really really liked and part of it was the bad syrupy taste in their French toast

Not a fan but wasn't expecting to be. Tastes like a mixed drink aged in a barrel.

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!
