Clear, pinkish hue, slim, soon-gone head.In the nose: fruity, tart, clean.
In the mouth: Starts out moderately tart, with cranberry flavor coming through. Drops off thereafter, spruce tips take control, and it ends dry and clean. Small amount of hop bitterness, but a persistent spruce tip attack. Citrus notes pop up and blend with other flavors.
If you want an intense "sour" sort of beer, this is not it. It is a good ol' drinkable, fruity ale with just enough tart to earn the label.
I enjoyed this bottle fine enough, but wouldn't make it through a 6-pack. It's not made for me, though, this I know.
This American tart-style ale exhibits cranberry fruitiness in harmony with malt, wheat, hops, and spruce tips.
This light-pink wheat beer has a hint of spruce notes in the aroma, with a honey sweetness and fruity medley of berry intensity prominent in the nose. The flavor is tart at the beginning, with sweet cranberry and citrus mellowing the overall taste. It has a very light mouthfeel and finishes crisp and clean.
Cranberries are paired with the same Sitka spruce tips we use in our award-winning Winter Ale, with Pilsen and German acidulated malts, plus malted white wheat and Nugget hops.
