Feb 1, 2009 Pale peach with next to no head. Aroma of cranberry, dough and light yeast. Taste of cranberry, maple, yeast and sweet malt. The sourness of the cranberries come through nicely. While not as good as those pricey Lambics, it’s a pretty good beer.

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle from Holiday 12 pack. Light amber color with reddish hints. Slightly off white head. Good lacing. Fruity aroma. Cranberry flavor is understated. Apparently I liked this one better then many of the others who’ve posted. Not a big lambric fan, but I kind of liked this because of the wheat background.

Jan 30, 2009 I like cranberries and this beer does a good job of tasting like cranberries. Fruity acidity is the main thrust of the flavor but there’s enough backing sweetness to keep it from being dry or astringent. I’m knocking it down on visual b/c it’s a bit cloudy and there’s no head.

Jan 26, 2009 I am sure it is just my ignorance of Lambics, but I could not drink this very often. I think I just don’t like fruity beers. It had a strong flavor of cranberries and was not to my liking.

Jan 23, 2009 330ml bottle - b/b April so it kept well...!!! Orange in colour - no real red hues as others describe. Has the cheap artifical fruit nose but it’s kinda fun. Cranbeery fruit, almost cordial like and spritzy carbonation. Lambic notes but done very lightly, again almost feels artifical. I think from what I read many others don’t really get this beer. it’s not a great interpretation of the style but no where near as bad as many suggest. Open minds people.

Jan 22, 2009 Bottle. Pour was a very reddish amber with mild carbonation. Aroma was bitter with a little noticable berry. Flavor was berry with a little funky yeast on the finish. An ok macro fruit beer, but not much better than that.

Jan 21, 2009 Bottle poured a hazy cranberry red with a small diminishing pink head. Aromas of cranberry, wheat and a faint hint of spice. Really not much to smell here. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Not lambic like at all. Flavors of cranberry, light cookie and a hint of spice with a smooth cranberry finish.Not lambic like in any strtch of the imagination!
