A Note on This Beer

There are few things in life as mouth-watering as taking a fresh-baked crumble out of the oven. The warm fruit bubbles up through cracks in the sweet, crisp topping, ready to be served up in a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream — you can’t beat it.

Unless, that is, you pull a can of B-52 Brewing Company’s awesome new Smoothie Tart: Cranberry Orange Crumble out of the fridge!

The ever-innovative B-52 brewers whipped up a fresh batch of this Fruited Sour conditioned on piles of juicy orange purée and a touch of tart cranberry. They added a sprinkle of cinnamon for warmth, then a few spoonfuls of vanilla and lactose to take this flavor train to whipped-cream central!

The result is a velvety brew that captures all the deliciousness of that bowl of fruit crumble, but with a lovely 6% ABV. It’s truly what my desserts have been missing!

My favorite part is, there’s no clean-up or bake time required! Whenever I’m craving a weekday treat, all I need to do is crack open a can of Cranberry Orange Crumble and start sipping on this indulgent, flavor-packed brew.

B-52 Brewing Company made Forbes’ list of 15 Great Texas Breweries!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Not enough flavor in my opinion

Too tart. The sour over powers the other flavors listed.

10/10 would recommend. Solely because I can easily taste all of the flavors on the front of the can. They are perfectly balanced and refreshing. Not sure how they got a pastry sour to not be heavy, but they did it. Would definitely buy again.

Great Sour. I am not a huge fan of cranberry but the balance was good. Would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Definitely sour, overpowers the fruit just a tad but the cinnamon is a nice touch

I've had a lot of sours, fruited ales, milkshake ipas, etc. And this one is one of the less tasty ones. I wouldn't buy this again.

Ordered from Tavour, chilled and poured into an imperial pint glass. Look: dark pink hue, cloudy like a wheat beer, with big head that dissipated to nothing and left no lacing as we drank Smell: cranberry, orange and big vanilla with some malty sourness Taste: sour up front (nice pucker factor), followed by hints of orange, followed by cranberry, trailing vanilla and if you hold the mouthful of it and swallow, reach and you get cinnamon and maltiness Feel: medium to full feel with subtle carbonation that hung around while it warmed. Lactose and oats really added to a smooth mouthfeel and the vanilla made a nice aftertaste that made the feel that much more satisfying Man if you like sour fruited beers this is a good one. The cranberry is subtle, I get more orange and the nose on this thing is orange and vanilla with some maltiness from the oats and wheat. Super yummy after taste with the lingering vanilla, oats and lactose. Cheers everyone!

The cranberry hits first and then orange is not far behind, then the cinnamon lingers on the palate. This is really good, I would definitely try other offerings by B-52

I don’t catch the smoothie, but the sour is perfect. The flavors are actually, to me, like breakfast. I would like this a lot to start my day drinking... not that I do that a lot. I’ll be looking for more of this!!!

Puce-colored murk, thick, tangy Cranberry, citrusy Orange, Prickly Pear-like with subtle Cinnamon Roll notes.

A little thin on flavor, good amount of tart. Good summer pour after mowing the lawn.

It’s really close to being fantastic but there’s not quite enough of something. Solid beer though and would definitely drink again. Good thing I have 4 of them.

16oz can from Tavour. Looks like pink grapefruit juice, small off-white ring of head. Fruity aroma, cranberry, vanilla, hint of orange. Taste adds a nice salty tartness to the dessert flavors, minor pucker, gum drying. Sweet.

Exactly as described. Not to sour, not syrupy. Almost like a mixed drink, would buy again.

Just the right amount of tart, the taste of graham cracker hits the spot and definitely leaves you wanting another sip.

More cranberry than anything else. It’s not a bad beer, just a bit more one dimensional than I was hoping.
