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.

Let me start off by saying I like cranberries. Cranberry bread, cranberry muffins...but not cranberry beer. The aroma was interesting but I barely finished the bottle, and had to drink it in short doses to get through. Just not my thing I guess.

Pours an orangish red tone, with a nice white head. Very fresh and fruity, and quite drinkable. Not overly complex or rich, but I would take one over mass market beer anyday. Thumbs up.

I do not like this one at all... WAY too sweet for my liking yet it still holds that disgusting bitterness that make cranberries hard to eat. It was a good try, but I won’t be drinking this anymore.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. It pours a light red with a pinkish, foamy head. The nose is mostly cranberry with and odd sour note. The flavor reminds of a sour cranberry cough syrup. Too sweet and too fake. Medium mouthfeel with a nasty, lingering aftertaste. This stuff is pretty bad. I can’t see why they keep this in the rotation. I like to leave a bottle hiding in the back of peoples refridgerators when I come over for parties. Lord knows I am not drinking it. Drain pour.

It’s unclear, orange-red with a lasting, creamy head. The aroma has notes of cranberries, a light berry sourness, light sweetness and wheat. The flavour is sweet with notes of creanberries, wheat and a little yoghurt. It’s smooth and sweet, very far from the lambic style, and too sweet in the long run.

A big disappointment! I felt like I was trying to cure a bladder infection ,nevermind enjoy a brew. I could not even finish this one. DO NOT BUY. I must admit I am not a big Lambic drinker but lets be serious ,this is a bad beer. The oversweet attack overrides any hope of tasting what the brew may have to offer.
