◎ Appearance

A clear ruby hue, bright and translucent, with a pale golden head that settles to a thin lacing around the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, persistent foam that adheres delicately to the walls. The clarity and light body are evident from the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with tart cranberry notes, supported by a herbal coriander edge and soft spice. Beneath lies a clean, subtle malt foundation that does not dominate; the fruit forward character is the defining feature. A dry, slightly bracing quality suggests the cranberry's natural acidity.

◐ Taste

Cranberry fruit arrives on entry with a firm, mouth-puckering tartness that builds into a moderately bitter finish. Coriander adds a gentle spiced warmth mid-palate, while the wheat and barley malt provide a light, dry foundation without sweetness. The bitterness is clean and direct, neither aggressive nor lingering heavily.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with the cranberry tartness and dry bitterness receding gradually. A lingering herbal note from the coriander remains subtly on the palate.
