Created by Samuel Adams Employee Carissa Sweigart. Brewed with ingredients signature to Carissa’s home of Massachusetts this Cranberry Wit is spiced with a blend of cinnamon, orange peel, coriander and grains of paradise, and finished with a touch of cranberry.

Pours hazy orange / amber with a sudsy off-white head. The aroma is on the spicy side (cinnamon & coriander), some crisp fruit and gentle what notes. Medium / light body that’s clean and crisp with lots of carbonation, but it is very soft carbonation. The flavor starts with a clean smooth wheat that’s on the dry side which is probably due to the high spice levels, some phenolic spice is there as well and underscored orange peel and cranberry. The fruit comes out more on the finish, but still mellow. This is a nice easy drinker.

Bottle. Light golden orange in color, fluffy white head. The aroma is tart cranberry, wheat, and spice. Flavor is a little bit sweeter and maltier than expected. Lots of grains, sweet fruit, a touch of coriander. Smooth, easy drinking, very refreshing.

bottle - Pours hazy yellow-orange with a one finger, very long lasting white head. It smells of wheat and berries. The flavor is sweet and fruity with good berry and wheat taste. It has a creamy mouth feel and while it’s all about the sweetness, it’s not overpowering. Pretty good.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a mild orange tint and a very thin slightly off-white head. Aroma of wheat, coriander seed, cranberries, yeast, tart cherries and a touch of grassy funk. Medium-bodied; Mild wheatie flavour with a touch of cranberries or raspberries, some mild citrus and a lot of overpowering, slightly stale wheat and malt. Aftertaste is a bad bitterness, some soapy touches, a light offensive mustiness and a touch sour citrus. Overall, not good at all in the taste - definitely worse than a non-offensive beer, this one shows bad. Too bad - I was expecting this to be much better. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from the sampler six pack, purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 11-July-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 18-January-2010.

Pours a hazy murky dull peach with a thin white head. Aroma is cranberry and perfume, cherry pit, dull crackers and light wheat malts, mineral and slate, and light spice. Light airy flavor- some mineral and pitty fruitiness, cranberry tartness and astringency with lots of skin, dusty malts, cracker, light bready wheat, toast, and a phenolic spritzy finish. Boring light and messy.

Aroma of mostly coriander, orange and some light cranberry, none in abundance. Appearance was translucent gold with foamy head. Flavors are pretty much on the nose, with most of the cranberry in the finish. Palate was creamy. Refreshing, but nothing too noteworthy here. A pleasant beer with just enough flavor to be appealing.

Pours hazy light amber with a small off white head. Aroma is faint but has hints of cranberry and not much else. Flavor is light with hints of cranberry and spice. Pretty bland.
