Commercial Description:
Samuel Adams® Cranberry Lambic is a fruit beer that draws its flavor not just from the cranberries it is brewed with, but also from the unique fermentation character imparted by the rare wild yeast strain. The result is a flavor rich in fruitiness and reminiscent of cranberries and bananas, cloves and nutmeg. The yeast fermentation also will create a slight sourness on the sides of the palate, a signature of the original Lambic style which, with the subtle cereal note from the wheat malt, remind its drinker that, as fruity a beer as this is, it is still a beer.

Bottle. Poured a hazy red color. Smells well doesn’t really have much of a smell. Tastes of cranberry and a light sweet and sour. Not bad but really took up room in the sample pack.

Not a bad fruit beer but not much like a true Lambic, more a like a slightly acidic cranberry soda.

Pours a bright head with a slightly pink head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is malty at first then the sweet fruitiness comes in. Some yeast at the finish. Hard glass to finish.

Not a bad beer. I like the flavor of this beer, I wasn’t sure what to think of S.A. making a Lambic but they did it well. Keep up the good work.

Nicy amber/ruby color, smells of malt and fruit. Nice tart fruit flavor. Not much lacing on the glass. Good Beer, just like most Sam Adams Products that I have tried.

12 oz, bb Mar 09. Hazy, copper with some reddish tints. Lasting eighth-inch of cream leaves some cottony lace. Aroma is of some sort of spiced, tart berry and slight metallic ozone. Flavor is ozone, tart berries, applesauce with spices, and a hint of cream. Some light wheat and spiced banana in the aftertaste. Light-medium body is acidic-tingly, a little too fizzy, and finishes almost dry.
