Mar 21, 2009 Tasted 3/1/09. 12oz bottles. And oh yes, three different vintages! Lets start with the freshest. 2008. Hazy with a straw, strawberry hue. Trace ring of white head. Fuzzy, bready aromas. Candy and musty. Medium bodied and acidic. This is gross. 2007. Fruity, but still thin and gross. 2005(I guess he already drank the ’06?). Hazy and straw, brown hued. Floral and candy aromas. Once again, medium bodied and sticky sweet. Citrus and Zima. Too sweet and cloying. Starting to oxidize. This is still bad.

Mar 13, 2009 This tasted very much like bitter vinegar (redundant, I know, it was on purpose). There was some tang in there due to the cranberries I suppose. I won’t be drinking this one again, yuck.

Mar 11, 2009 Not sure if I actually drank this, or the new beer by the makers of Frankenberry. No lambic characteristics to speak of, just starwberry flavored cereal, marshmellows and... alcohol. MMM-mmm. Drink up! Just a berry big mess, and not even a shitty plastic toy in the bottom to cheer me up. Can’t wait to try next year’s Sam Adams Count Bockula and Fruity Yummy Dunkelweizen. Who’s the big asshole who brought this to a tasting ? Oh yeah, me.

Mar 11, 2009 Bottled. Not bad but a very odd hybrid between a fruit beer and a lambic that does not quite succeed on either account. Very light body and flavouring. More sweet than anything else with just a hint of cranberry tartness. Okay.

Mar 8, 2009 Bottle. I feel like I’m one of the few people who actually enjoys this one. It’s one of the better fruit beers I’ve had. The deep red color lends itself well to its name, aroma is a little dry though. The cranberry flavor is very nice and really helps to create a festive holiday atmosphere.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy reddish light brown with a small, off-white head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Flavor is slightly sweet and slightly cranberry. I’d pass on this one.
