Aug 11, 2008 Not a good representation of what a Lambic is. It’s not sour or funky enough. Lousy Cranberry flavor too. I can finish this but just barely - it’s on the very bottom rung of drinkability.

Jul 14, 2008 With apologies to those who see fruit in beer as a sacrilege and those with a particular hatred for this one. I get two of these every year from a friend’s winter variety pack and they are tolerable enough..

Jul 12, 2008 I’ve enjoyed lambics but this one is terrible. I have yet to find anyone that will finish a bottle. Too much like cough syrup. Poured mine out.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle...Awful. I love usually enjoy fruity lambics. This is the first time I’ve tried a lambic that wasn’t brewed in Belgium. I will stick to the Belgians from now on.

Jul 3, 2008 I love the Sam Adams winter variety pack, I get it every year - and every year I try the cranberry lambic and say "This is the year I will find something to like about cranberry lambic" and every year I conclude there is nothing good about this tart and confusing brew. This winter when I buy the variety pack, I’ll probably do it all over again

Jun 17, 2008 This beer pours a golden, orangeish colour with a small thin white head. While i wasn’t extremely impressed with this beer on lambic terms, I did find suprisingly pleasent and easy to enjoy, despite its lack of carbonation and structure. It’s a calm, soft silky mouthfeel- well balanced, just a little weak thats all. tart in the finish.

Jun 10, 2008 Figured it would be worth a taste, and I was right. Very interesting, and its nice to see a big American brewer using wild yeast, but I wont be buying any of this next winter.

May 21, 2008 I had great expectations for this beer since overall the Sam Adams beers are usually above average. The aroma was nice. Slightly fruity and refreshing. The taste however was less impressive. I rarely (almost never) fail to finish a beer. Even Camo gets muscled down if needed. I poured this out after several sips of disbelief. I tried to like it but the taste was overwhelmingly medicinal. Almost like taking cough syrup. Overall I was disappointed in this one.
