Bottle... Cloudy peach-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. The aroma is basically “canned peaches meet caramel malt.” Tangy, lightly sweet flavor with good bitterness. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Fruity, tannic, gently bitter finish. Thanks go out to DragonStout for sharing the bottle!

Courtey Dragonstout. Pours a light amber color with a medium, light tan head. Smells pretty fruity, alot of malts, and yeast characters round out the aroma. The flavor isquite frity as well, you get a little of the cranberry, alot of Belgian yeast, and some big maltiness. The finish is fruity sweet with a light bitter aftertaste. Nothing great here, but drinkable.

22 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy brown color with monstrous cream-colored head. Smells like cranberry juice with that acidic vomit-like aroma that I really despise in a lot of beers. Tastes like sweet malts and cranberry juice. What else do I really need to say? Not good, at all.

Had during Christmas while palying Madden. Forgot to rate. Aroma of malt and some sour cranberry. Poured gold more or less. Flavor was mostly a boring malt flavor followed by a sour cranberry flavor. Was kind of dull on the palate. Not the best beer by any means. Did not really enjoy.

From 650ml bottle..pours with thick white head that dissipates quickly. Fruity aroma....butterscotch color. Slight cranberry taste with somewhat tinny flavor. Not bad....good session beer.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with Saarlander (as part of the Mystery Swap v2.0). Poured a medium and hazy amber color with a huge, huge sized off white head. Aromas of cranberries, light caramel and a perfume. Tastes of mainly tart cranberries. Not too much going on with this beer and the cranberries where a little on the artificial side.

Small, soapy head. Slightly cloudy ambered hue. Smells faintly of sweet fruits (cranbeeries) and a bit of corn. Tastes less of cranberries, more of cereal and with a slightly funky-sweet finish. Crisp mouth feel.
