Jun 24, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a 2 finger white head that results in spotty lacing. The nose is spicy yeast and very faint cranberry. The flavour begins with an almost indiscernible cranberry note and quickly moves into a pure wheat presence with a kinda cream soda like ending and slightly sourish. The cranberry tartness seems to mesh up better for the style than SA’s mass produced Blackberry Wit.

Jun 22, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a somewhat clear golden amber color. Aroma is a mild sweet caramel and malt, touch of cranberry. Flavor is light, tart cranberry - nice solid wheat flavor backs it up. Last year the "weak" one was the grape LongShot. This year the weak one was better.

Jun 21, 2009 Not expecting much, but decent. A little to thin bodied to be a good beer. Cranberry and some cinnamon in the flavor, but that is about it. Lacks any wheat flavor. Nice tartness that makes this beer drinkable - sweetness would be unbearable. Much better than the cranberry lambic.

Jun 20, 2009 Hazy apricot with a thin tan head that leaves some spotty lacing. Aroma of cranberry, year and bread. Taste of cranberries, though mostly artificial with a tart finish. I’ve tasted much better fruit home brews than this. At least it’s better than last years grape pale ale.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy peach colored pour with a big white head. Perhaps a light fruitiness in the aroma, but more noticeable is a hop aroma characteristic of european lagers. Flavor is light, noticeable cranberry with a nice sweetness standing side by side. Mild bitter finish and a silky smooth mouthfeel. Not bad overall, easy drinking.

Jun 19, 2009 So, Sam Adams and fruit beer kind of have a dicey history, at best. And if you’re familiar with their Cranberry "Lambic" - well, lst just say that expectations were low. It pours cloudy ornage with a touch of pink, and a rocky, foamy head. Aroma is more wheaty and bready, with a bit of what I assume is cranberry in the background. Flavor is surprisingly dry, with a coriander and ornage and cranberry, all of which seem be less cloying than I expected. It may be benefitting from lowered expectations, but I liked it.

Jun 17, 2009 Nice head on the pink grapefruit pour. Pretty light, tart aroma. The taste is all right, but I wish there were more cranberry and spice in the mix. The wattage is too low in this one. It goes down like mild wit with a touch of apple. Nice, clean cranberry and hop tingle in the aftertaste.

Jun 13, 2009 cloudy orange, small rocky white head.
aroma is like SA cherry wheat, some artificial fruit and hops, a little citrus, more raspberry than cranberry.
flavor is also a bit artificial, also too sweet, not much wheat comes through, it’s just somewhat fruity. finish is some hops.
nice medium body and fizzy.
