Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic

Brewed by Boston Beer Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Appearance: Pours a pale orange body with a small, fizzy white head. Smell: The aroma has a light wheatiness to it, fruity notes of cranberries and bananas, and comes armed with a lactic sourness. Hint of clove. Taste: Wheaty, cereal taste starts when in comes the cutting sour-sweet cranberry and banana flavors. A big lactic note chomps down on the palate. A slight acidity sweeps any remnants of fruity sweetness leaving a sour finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Oddly mouth-coating. Drinkability: I must admit, it’s not my favorite in the Samuel Adams line-up.

Pours amber with a smallish white head. Sour nose with hints of cranberry. Tastes slightly sweet and sour, not very lambic-like. Finishes a bit sweet. Tastes more like cider than lambic.

Pours amber, almost a cider color. Citrus armoa, bitter cranberry. Semi-tart cranberry finish with hint of cider apple. because I do not love the cider’s I rank this lower. A average beer.

Pours amber with a touch of pink. Aroma is (surprise) sour cranberry. Mouth feel is thin with a bit of carbonation. Flavor is very sweet and lacks the sourness that is present in the aroma. Heffe-like wheat characteristics are also present. Once I got over the fact that this is not as sour as I expect from a lambic, I actually enjoyed it.

bottle. light pink reddish pour with white head. definately sweet cranberry. i think its pretty good.

2007, aroma is of somewhat spiced grains with a slight mustiness. flavor is very fruity... like a carbonated cran-apple juice. I remember liking this last year but it’s a bit on the sweet side for me these days.

Nose is sour and fruity. Body is an orange pink like color. Tastes like a bit of cranberries and funk and yeast. Not that great but a good beer to get used to the funk with. Hmm.

12oz bottle. Light nose of cranberries and yeast. Finish was a little rough. After drinking 3 I thought I was gonna puke..........too sweet.
