Jan 6, 2009 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.

Jan 6, 2009 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.

Jan 6, 2009 Updated: May 4, 2009Nicy 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.

Jan 5, 2009 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.

Jan 4, 2009 Pours a lovely deep cranberry color - hazy reddish amber when held up to light, witha small white head.
There’s actually some lambic funk in the aroma! I never expected that from Sam Adams! The aroma also has sweet malt, and cranberries.
The flavor is very nice, it is sweet, a bit acidic, sour, funky, and cranberry
Palate is acidic and effervescent.
Overall this is much better than I expected, very nice.

Jan 3, 2009 Hazy red with a light head. Smell is not as strong in the fruit as I expected. Can definitely smell the cranberry, but it’s not sickly sweet like I expected, especially with the low rating here. More cranberry sweet in the mouth, like i did expect. Medium full in the mouth. Almost like a snakebite with black currants. Maybe it’s better warm like I’m drinking it. Probably 50 deg. Not as bad as 16th percentile.

Jan 3, 2009 Split the bottle with Butters. Pours a peachy colored head with a cloudy, burnt orange body. Smells like cranberry bread. Tastes of cranberries. It is sweet and sour with a more prevalent sour finish.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle shared with Barrios at work. Pours a hazy peach color with thin rose colored head. Nose is very sweet cranberry. Flavor is sweet with a tart cranberry finish.Reminds me of their cherry wheat. I was actually okay with this, it certainly isnt a lambic, but its not that bad as a change of pace.
