Nov 15, 2007 Got this beer in a Sam Adams Winter mix pack. Started well with its inviting fruit bouquet aroma and attractive ruby red pour but it ended there. This tastes aweful! And that aftertaste! Beer should only taste like this on the way back out. This beer should be measured in Courics. Unfortunately the sampler pack contains another one. If you buy the Winter pack give the Crapberry to someone you dont like and drink the rest

Nov 15, 2007 This is a lambic? Um, no. It even says on the bottle, "wheat beer with cranberry and other natural flavors." It’s drinkable, and not as tart as you would expect, but not a lambic.

Nov 15, 2007 Different; not too bad not too good; tastes pretty nice in the front; clean and crisp with acidic nature; finish is odd (for lack of a better description); not sure whether its the cranberries, maple syrup, or yeast strain used, but just a little off at the end.

Nov 15, 2007 Not bad for a fruit beer, although if I tasted it blind I’m not sure if I could identify it as a beer. Fans of fruit beers will like it. Goes well with breakfast.

Nov 15, 2007 Pours amber with an off white head. THe aroma is sweet with definate hints of cranberries. Taste has some sourness but also sweetness. It is drinkable but has little real character.

Nov 14, 2007 the idea of a cranberry flavored beer sounded good, but this is a little too heavy on the cranberry. it almost tastes like a wine cooler to me.....not so good.

Nov 14, 2007 Thin Head. Very clear readdish color. Smell is fruity. Taste is fruity. Not much reminded me that I was in fact drinking a beer. At this point im already drunk as i saved these two for last. Meh, I honestly wouldnt drink it if it wasnt part of the winter classics 12 pack. They should stick to the dark beers as thats what they seem to do well. Not a beer Id personally drink if it wasnt free, but hey, whos to judge? If ya like fruity beer then this may perhaps be right up your particular alley.

Nov 13, 2007 Updated: Nov 25, 2007Quite a departure from my norm of porters and stouts. The cranberries are an excellent mix with wheat taste of hefeweizen. It reminded me of Sudwerk’s version of the hefe mixed with cranberry juice. Very good for the holidays, but I wouldn’t drink it year round.
