Taste Notes

THIS BATCH CAME OUT "BOOZY" TASTING. I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH CRANBERRIES, BUT I MIGHT TRY A DIFFERENT YEAST NEXT TIME. THE DRIED CRANBERRIES DIDN'T ADD THE EXTRA POP I WANTED IN TERMS OF BERRIES, SO I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT COMBINING CRANBERRY WITH ANOTHER FRUIT/SPICE BECAUSE IT IS NOT ENOUGH ON IT'S OWN TO REALLY TICKLE THE PALLETE. I AM HOPING AGING WILL HELP THIS ONE OUT!
