KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Feb 7, 2007 Reddish color. Smell of malt, rust, copper, zinc, pie crust and cranberry juice. Taste is not that pleasant. Taste of malt, tart cranberries, copper wheat and sugary. Very flat. WSSmiles (124), Columbus, Ohio, USA Feb 5, 2007 Wow-wee, give a shout out to the e-den for the hook up, cmon u trying to kill me!-jk. Seriously thanks can always use a rating. This beer is very sweet, not hoppy sweet just nestle quik sweet. The aroma has to be out of plastic. My stomach is turning, must chase with a samual (smith stout) sorry adam. Stick to what your good at. TheKegergator (241), California, USA Feb 3, 2007
Had this after the Holliday Porter. The Porter put this to shame. Not a very good beer. You can taste the cranberries, so maybe that was the problem. Not much alcohol taste or anything else. Maybe it’s just not my style of beer. It was just a little too sweet. redave (133), squaw valley, California, USA Jan 30, 2007 What a refreshing beer! Being the hophead that i am, this was quenching, light, [if sweet] beer.
Sam Adams is great to provide their sampler packs, i then get to sample beers, i might not ever try.
Pours not the color i expected [pinkish] but rather amber...
Very white head, if thinnish, and no lace.
Some fruitish cranberry aroma.
Nice light crisp taste, great with dinner.
[ serving type: bottle ] JamesD (192), Centreville, Virginia, USA Jan 28, 2007 I got this in a Sam Adams Winter Classics sampler pack. Not undrinkable as some people say, but not that good. It tastes kind of like a normal American pilsner with some cranberry flavor. I drank it after a long day at work, which might account for my not despising it like some do. I would say that this makes a decent, if expensive, lawnmower beer, but not much else. If you get the Winter Classics sampler pack, drink one of them and then give the other one away. sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 26, 2007 not much to say here that hasn’t already been said. some sourness which is surprising, the rest is all cranberry fruit beer. definitely nothing lambic or farmhouse about it. very sweet. surprisingly thin finish. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 25, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a white head and ? color. Aroma is sweet cranberry. Taste is fruity.
jimthechap (174), Christchurch, New Zealand Jan 19, 2007 Surprisingly drinkable but not really as full flavoured as you’d expect of a lambic beer. I know I could sell loads of this stuff, mainly to women who don’t usually drink beer. Refreshing (but cranberry drinks usually are) and I would probably go back for seconds.
