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.

Dec 30, 2007 Not as bad as most people are making it out to be. Sure, it’s not a lambic. I have no idea why they call it a lambic if it’s not a lambic. It’s an average malty beer with a fair amount of cranberry flavor over top of it. Fairly refreshing, not bad. Probably would get a higher rating if labeled differently.

Dec 29, 2007 This beer is delicious, it’s light and flavorful. The crandberry is just enough in the beer to not over power but give you that fresh taste in your mouth, I enjoy it very much.

Dec 28, 2007 A novel idea, but I just can’t get over the artificially sweet and artificially bittering taste of the cranberry flavoring. I admit I am not such a fan of fruited beers, but this is a far cry from Magic Hat #9 in my opinion.

Dec 27, 2007 Poured this into a flute on 12/6/07. An orange-copper color with a 1 knuckle off white head. Malt, cranberry and wheat on the aroma. Cranberry, apple, malt, and white zinfindel initially. Watered down cranberry juice, lots of malt, and wheat on a tart aftertaste. Body is on the watery side of medium with good carbonation. A fruit beer, but hardly lambic. Cranberry Wheat would be an appropriate name. Not bad if you need a thrist quencher.
