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.

Bottle. Pours a light reddish hue with a small pinkish head. The aroma is really light-perhaps some fruit. The taste has some cranberries, malts, and tartness. Something is off though. First, this is not a lambic, so why say so. Second, the beer is just really thin and weak while leaving artifical tastes. Not good, but not horrible.

Pours a pukish ruby red. Smells like puke. Taste a little like puke. Makes your puke taste a little more like puke. I’ve had a bunch of these this year and in past years and I’ve tried to like this beer every time. It just seems to get worse and worse every time I drink it. Thank God its only around for a few months and Sam Adams produces many other great products to make up for this awful bottle puke concoction.

Probably the worst beer I’ve ever had, and that’s saying alot considering I’m not that picky. It looks alright, but it tastes disgusting...the cranberry combined with the wheaty taste simply does not work. Don’t even waste your time.

Might possibly be the worst beer on earth, if they didn’t have all those awful macrobrewed, watered down beers.

BLAH!!! Not a big fan of Cranberries, and this beer tastes like if you squeezed Cranberry juice into alcohol. If you like Cranberry flavored thing you might disagree with me.

not as bad as I thought it was going to be from what I had heard. Flavor is artificial cranberry flavoring with some belgian yeast undertones. Strange, and not at all a lambic.

12-23-07 bottle.
Clear red orange with white bubbly long lasting head. Smell is slightly metallic (even as it warms). Doesn’t smell too fruity (perhaps a hint of cranberry and orange peel - but really not that much at all). Very sweet taste that is slightly tart - but not overly so. Not very complex at all. High carbnation and thin body. Sweet taste left in mouth. Just average - nothing special at all.

12 oz bottle Reddish pour with a pink head. Fruity aroma. This is no lambic; more like a cranberry wheat. Possibly the worst beer Boston Beer makes.
