OK, I have been sipping these slowly because I want enough to last for Christmas. This is a good Ale with a mild tangy overtone flavor. Cascades gives it a nice finish.

Great flavor, mild crandberry tang, Lousy clarity

This was a very popular beer among my Christmas guests. My only complaint was it would NOT clear. Nice color, slight red blush. It was as cloudy as a German Hefeweisen, making it look a little "pink!" I suspect it's because the cranberries are used in the boil and are high in pectin. I added Irish Moss as a clarifier, but otherwise followed the recipe explicitly. I bottled half and kegged half a batch. It ages well in the bottle, but never clears. I will make it again but try cranberries in the secondary instead of the boil.
It is the Rye and cranberries

Iron Mike, I am glad that you liked it ... it realy is a tasty brew, just forget about the cloudyness, IT'S HOMEBREW MAN :-)
Chill haze only problem for perfectionists

Suggest eliminating the real cranberries in favor of cranberry flavoring added at bottling. Or alternatively add chopped cranberries to secondary.
