Jan 21, 2009 12oz bottle from Holiday 12-pack. Pours a cloudy reddish color with an off white, almost pinkish head. Sour yeasty smell with a hint of tart berries. Initial taste isn’t too bad, light bodied with some sweetness. Then the tart cranberry juice kicks in and leaves you with an unpleasant puckering finish. A funny aftertaste lingers for a while making things even worse. It took some determination to finish the whole bottle.

Jan 20, 2009 12 oz bottle, Slightly reddish amber, mild aroma and tartness of cranberry. Must be an acquired taste, doesn’t work for me.

Jan 19, 2009 Roby red pour with a small head. Aroma of sweet cherries and cranberries. Also possibaly a belgian yeast as well. Same with the flavor it near as strong as I thought. i would call it a lambic but its not bad it drink able , the alcohol is very well hidden. well got a few more to go.....I guess this would be uncool but yes I did buy the holiday pack from rite aid..... so expect a few more ratings

Jan 19, 2009 Honestly, off the top of my head, this is the worst beer from a craft brewery that I have ever tasted. I tasted this out of the Winter 12-pack and after the first sip, not only poured the rest out but popped the second one and dumped that too. Smells of cranberry but tastes kinda like throwing up red wine, sorry to get so graphic. Taste this at your own risk!

Jan 16, 2009 From a 12oz bottle this beer looks like a carbonated red grapefruit juice. Smells of cranberry, sugar - taste is cranberry, with a very sour/tart aftertaste. One is all I can ever drink at a time and I usually have to be in the right mood for that. I only get them once a year when I pick up the Sam Adams Holiday pack. Boston Beer finally made the right move and got the Sam Adams Light out of the Holiday pack - now it needs to do the same for this beer. Stick the Black Lager in the pack instead. Of course this is probably the only time they move any of their Lambic - by packaging it with other decent beers. Oh well.

does not count  Jan 15, 2009 It’s different. I’m not a big fruit beer fan. The aroma is really strong of something other than beer (mostly cranberry), appearance is a reddish haze, flavor is of slight cranberry, and palate is very light and almost airy. It feels like when I get a mouth full, I didn’t get quite enough. Hard to explain. Not bad, not the best though.

Jan 14, 2009 Looked like that carbonated juice you buy at the store. Tasted like a fruit wine. Little cranberry taste. I am not a fan of fruit beers. This tasted like a damn wine cooler. Not my favorite, and I don’t want to try this again.
