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.

Very disappointed. Smelled of strong cranberries. Pours a pinkish hue. Felt very thick on the tongue. Could not finish the entire bottle.

(bottle) Pinkish-amber. Aroma is cranberry and clove. Flavor is like canned jellied cranberries, not fresh cranberries. None of the sour notes I’d expect from a lambic.

This was ok for a cranberry lambic. I do not particularly enjoy the taste of cranberries and the taste was rather overpowering for me. However, if you feel like cranberry, ok lambic.

I was dissapointed in this lambic....I guess I had high expectations for it and I will rate this for the style it is supposed to be......I am comparing this to the Framboise, which I thought represented true to style. This Sam Adams lambic poured somewhat clear, I expected cloudy. The head was ok. Can taste the wheat malt. Too carbonated, obviously forced carbonated. Does not have a creamy body feel that I expected in a lambic. Aroma was good though, but hell, it’s cranberry. It was not horrible, was tasty, but would not buy again.....

Very strong/unpleasing cranberry scent. Bitter taste and very carbonated. More like a carbonated juice than a beer. Bitter aftertaste. Not impressed and would not consider a winter beer. Could be good to cook with.
