Yukon Deadman Creek Cranberry Wheat

First of all, cranberries don't thrill me. I'll not be working for Ocean Spray anytime soon. This beer pours a hazy golden orange with almost no head. Aroma is malt and cranberries - and nothing else. The flavour had a weak tartness to it that can be attributed to the cranberries, but otherwise was a refreshing drinkable brew.

This brew poured a cloudy honey brown with zero head, barley any bubbles floated on top, this stuff resembles Metamucil perfectly. A pleasant malty banana aroma that is some what fruity is admitted from the beer, I enjoy the smell but the only problem is its very weak and hard to detect. Lots of bready malts can be tasted combined with a dry sourness that probably comes from the cranberries. This brew is medium bodied with good carbonation, and leaves a bready after taste. This beer is highly drinkable and refreshing but is also highly forgettable and boring.

Part of the Yukon "Thirst Aid Kit" mixed 12 pack, came with a free pint glass. Pours a slightly cloudy orange color with a bubbly head. The foam has almost a pinkish orange color, but disappears too quickly to be sure. Smell is a very faint sour cranberry. It is alright, but I was expecting more. You can taste some cranberry, but it is very subtle. The wheat flavor comes through more than the fruit. The high carbonation gives a good twang in your mouth, but not much else. Good for a summer thirst quencher, but my least favorite from Yukon. I guess I wanted more fruit flavors. Brewster's Winter Cranberry was better, imo.

Wheaty good! Cloudy dull orange with a small white cap on the pour and no cap to speak of a couple of minutes later. Zero lacing. Aroma is faint, but the wheat and sour berries are mixed together equally. A chemically odour hides in the background. It's nice to get a beer with aroma that is soft once and awhile. Taste is pretty good, except I'm not sold on the sourness - not that it's bad. Soft wheat and yeast start you off while the sour cranberries finish. Good or bad, depending on your sour tolerance. I like it cause it's different, but I don't love it. It's medium bodied with a very long sour yeasty finish. Fairly smooth with ample carbonation. Very tart and dry aftertaste. There is a collection of yeast that has gathered at the bottom of my glass that has a one way ticket to my stomach. Lots of sour - man, this aftertaste just doesn't go away!

I tried this at a bar in Whitehorse, YT (where Yukon Brewing is located). As a wheat beer, it is quite tasty. Maybe I am not that fond of cranberry, because they gave the beer and unpleasant bitter aftertaste. While you could smell the berries in the beer, it lacked the sweet fruit aromas I have come to appreciate in a fruit beer.
