Commercial Description:
Created by Samuel Adams Employee Carissa Sweigart. Brewed with ingredients signature to Carissa’s home of Massachusetts this Cranberry Wit is spiced with a blend of cinnamon, orange peel, coriander and grains of paradise, and finished with a touch of cranberry. This bright, fruity and refreshing brew is reminiscent of an autumn day in New England.

A fruit beer with real fruit flavor (no chemical/medicinal notes) with good balance, flavor, and tartness.

Fruit Beer #100. Hazy dark pink color with a large head. Light vinous cranberry aroma and some wheat. Very dusty and dirty wheat taste. The cranberries taste like they were just rehydrated. It seems far more like a light wheat ale with cranberries than a fruit Belgian Wit.

Bottle. Hazy gold body with a reddish cast. White, diminishing head. Aroma of wheat grain with a hint of bread, lemon, orange and cranberry. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The predominant taste is a sweet, bready yeast with a touch of cranberry. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. I appreciated the fact the cranberry was not overdone.

Color is a golden orange with a slight haze. Carbonation is good with a small white head. Aroma is a sweet grain scent. Taste is light and sweet. Starting with a light body it goes down a bit fizzy. Finish is sweet with a touch of a berry taste, a little coriander and cinnamon. After taste has a faint bitterness and a little citrus (orange) showing. Overall its ok, easy drinking and light making it a good brew for a nice summer day but its nothing special.
