Advent calendar #13. Alcohol is very subtle, but cranberry is not.

Starts off oddly tart with cranberry-lime malt. But this rounds out to something very special as the whisky warms into the fruit nougat with a touch of malty cotton candy. Throw in some orange and light cinnamon and I’m a fan. That was for Nathaniel B.

Bourbon, cranberry, cherry, and orange peel. It’s a cranberry old fashioned.

Deep burgundy red color, beige head that lasts. Bourbon, orange, cherry nose. Old-fashioned like. Bourbon taste hits first, followed by some tart cranberry flavor. Sweet orange peel & maraschino cherry in the back. Finishes sweet. Hint of booziness.

A new cocktail inspired entry from Founders, this one is like a tart old fashioned. Bourbon forward, cranberry finish.

I really like this. Nice and tart from the cranberry and orange peel. None of the cloying sweetness like other old fashioned inspired beers. I want to crush this, but it is a sipper.

Very cranberry. You get the bourbon barrel. Citrus at the end. Great!

I don't really like cranberry, and yet this beer works for me. Lots of sweet cherry and a little citrus. Mostly get the bourbon on the finish, giving a cocktail like feel. Pleasantly surprised.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Manuel Esparza

Very nice, wine profile. The booziness definitely comes through, followed by a deliciously tart cocktail flavor. Make an old fashioned using cranberry, orange, honey, and stir it with a stick of cinnamon and you'll have this ale. So satisfying.
