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.

10/06/2007: Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic pours an amber color and has an off-white head. The aroma is lightly fruity (berry) with a touch of wheat malt and something sour. The flavor is also fruity and slightly tart. There is a good amount of wheat malt and flavor that helps to keep everything in balance. This beer has a medium body and an almost creamy texture. I wouldn’t necessarily drink this beer all the time, but I do find that I enjoy it every year around the holidays. I guess there is something about cranberries and the season...

12 fl. oz. bottle (5.9% Alc. by Vol.) at nephew’s 1st birthday party. Rating #579 for this beer...

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Cloudy orange in color. Smells of cranberries and vineger. A little sour in the flavor. Dry and malty. A little fruit also.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Berry aroma and dry malty aroma. Sweet malty flavour, again with a berry flavour. Very sweet. Ends with a minor acidity breaking the sweetness.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy, amber golden with a small, rough head. Weird aroma, slightly fruity I guess. Light-bodied and very sweet, again these weird, fruity notes while both bitterness and sourness is very subdued. Very odd and unusual beer. 180907

Had this beer on 12/4/2003. Aroma is a fruity sour wine like scent. Color is a clear orange amber with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is all over with sour, tart and sweet tones. Starting with bold light body it goes down with a clean feel. The finish come on sweet then goes a touch sour and leaves you with a tart twang on the very end. Its very good but seems to be a bit light compared to other Lambics.
