Dec 23, 2007 Pours pinkish-red with a large pink tinted head as well. Smell is cherry, cranberry and a hit of wit-bier like aroma and slight funk wit-bier yeast. Interesting taste. Definitely getting some wheat in the finish and prior are some slightly sweet and tart cranberry and fruity notes. Bit too thin bodied and flavored however. Comes off like a thin cranberry wheat beer rather than a lambic, which it isn’t even classified as. Interesting beer that is worth a shot, but not a repeat buy for me.

Dec 22, 2007 YUCK! Maybe I guess I just don’t like lambic, but yuck....just a minute let me go get something to get the flavor out of my mouth. Bitter, cranberry. Cranberries don’t belong in beer. Don’t bother.

Dec 21, 2007 Minimal white head, but maybe that was just the pour. Reddish translucent body... Cranberry smell is all I could pick out of the aroma. Taste is of cranberries and dryness... didn’t really pick out any real complexity. A Christmas beer for chicks.

Dec 21, 2007 Updated: Jan 19, 2008Maybe something was wrong with my bottle but i couldn’t even finish this. I’ve enjoyed there cherry wheat which isn’t a fruit beer, but something was wrong with this one, i hope there not all like this. My best description for this would be poisned cranberry juice. 1/19/08 - From the sam winter pack thats been in my fridge since the first ratting, this one is just as bad if not worse, yuck!

Dec 20, 2007 Pours pink like cheap champagne, very fine white head. Aroma of sweet cranberrys and little yeast. First taste is very tart and puckering... that fades and each sip thereafter is of light cranberrys, more on the sweet side than the bitter side of cranberrys.... sparkling watered-down cranberry juice... wish that tart sourness of the first taste stood up. Strange cereal aftertaste. Surprisingly nice attempt at a lambic...has that tartness, some dustiness.. just seems a bit detached.

Dec 19, 2007 I actually thought this was a fairly decent beer. I’ve never had a Lambic and from what I understand, this ain’t one, but it aint bad either. Tastes like Christmas.
Amberish red color with a nice fluffy head. Actually looks pretty good.
Ok, I can definitely smell the cranberries in this but I think I’m supposed to.
Kind of a tart taste to this, similar to cranberry juice with a bit of biscuit thrown in.
Very fruity but still pretty good. Not sure I could handle more than one or two but I still like the fact that I can get them at Christmas.

Dec 18, 2007 Nice, copper brew with a tangy, citrus wine flavor. Sweetness and sourness both present, along with light hops. A nice change of pace from the Boston Beer Company. They continue to be good at making unusual beers more palatable and less strange for your average American drinker.
