Dec 31, 2007 Bottle. Pinkish beer with an off-white head. Sweet, tart, light fruit roll-up aroma. Fruit roll-up flavor with some malt. Medium body. Fruit roll-up lingers. Got worse as I drank more.

Dec 31, 2007 Updated: Jan 11, 2008Bottle. Appearance: Pink amber, eggshell head. Aroma: Sweet, tart and fruity. Cranberry dominates. Also a little wheaty. Palate: Medium/light. Flavor: Very sweet cranberry. Kind of tart. Was a weird, dairy, almost yogurt like sourness. Overall: I poured half of this beer down the drain. I’m not crazy about cranberry drinks in general. This one was just to much for me. Worst of their winter 12 pack by far.

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle, from winter mixer. Pours a mostly clear gold to amber with medium diminishing white head. Aroma is awfully sweet from candy to genuine fruit with a touch of cranberry and a good dose of wheatiness. Flavor is weirdly sweet and wheaty with a cranberry yogurt overtone leading to a syrupy and lightly tangy short finish. Pretty strange overall and never really any good.

Dec 31, 2007 Not a true lambic. Orange color with almost no head. Aroma of cranberries, fruits, nutmeg. Sweet taste-lots of fruit and wheat. Lacked the tartness and body of a true lambic.

Dec 31, 2007 Oh god. This was awful. Sweet jesus. I rarely will not finish a beer, and this one was up there with unfinishable. So syrupy. So gross. Like bad cough medicine. Booo!

Dec 31, 2007 Too sweet; too much like a cranberry b***ch drink. But for that, it was done pretty well I guess.

Dec 30, 2007 Sampled via variety pack and from a 12-oz bottle at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a semi-clear orange amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of tart cranberry and tart berries with a touch of multi-grain malt. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with a complex mixture of tart berry, multi-grain and wheat malt and some grassy hops. Finish is slightly tart and bitter but nothing even close to the Belgian lambics.

Dec 30, 2007 Sour fruit aroma from a cloudy medium ruby body with no head. Slight sweet/ sour flavor of cranbereries and malt. Not bad, not a lambic by any definition of the style. Mediium mouth feel slightly over carbonated.
