Jun 9, 2009 This was weird. It tasted nothing like a lambic. This seemed more like generic brand cranberry juice cocktail spiked with a bit of wheat beer. Not my thing.

Jun 8, 2009 This beer came as part of a Holiday Sampler from Sam Adams. The ratings say it all. This beer wasn’t good, but I finished it...

May 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber beer with an off white head. Some light acidic cranberry and lemon. This was pretty bad even for a fruit beer, maybe SA should stick to their lagers.

May 22, 2009 Eh this beer went down a little weird for me. It did taste like cranberry, but something about it just seemed off. It wasn’t bad, but definitely not one of the better Samuel Adams. It felt like I was drinking cranberry flavored syrup.

May 15, 2009 Overall Impression:
I haven’t had this Sam offering in a while, but I remember I was not in any kind of hurry to get it again (score is from the old rating (no notes))

May 9, 2009 Very nice frothy head; great lace; the color is light amber with a slight red tinge.
The aroma reminds me of tart cherries (not cranberries). The smell is surprising light, mostly a dry malt. I had expected a more robust aroma.
Tart flavors up front. The flavor of wheat is powerful. Again, I taste sour cherries. Not a true lambic, but pleasant enough--probably not one I’d re-purchase. Long sour aftertaste.

May 5, 2009 (12oz bottle) Pours a reddish-tan body with a small off-white head. Aroma of wheat and artificial fruit (candish). Flavor of syrup, fruit flavoring, light clove, and wheat.
