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.

Hazy orange pour with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is cranberry, wheaty malt, citrus. Tastes of natural cranberry, albeit subdued, with wheaty malt, subtle spices, and a fairly rich, citric and cranberry palate. i would drink this again, but only in hot weather.

Light but distinct wheat and cranberry aroma, wheat comes blowing out at first,but it settles into a mist of mild cranberry,cloudy softly fruity flavor ,I guess it could be cranberry,a little fruit bitterness in finishsimple easy,not a thirst quencher ,but a nice summer brew when you haven’t particularily exerted yourself

12 oz bottle. Pours a reddish gold with a surprisingly thick, lasting head. Aroma of wheat, spice and cranberry, with a taste to match. Not as much cranberry in the flavor as the aroma suggests, but the orange peel and spice is there (although I don’t really taste the cinnamon like the label claims). Not my favorite style of beer but not bad.

Pours a dark hazy reddish body with small white head. The aroma is strong cranberry. The taste is similar, some tartness and a mildly weird aftertaste.

101st dalmatian for this brew. Stale Sammy graininess and light raspberry/cranberry syrup. Some wheat and likely some orange peel/rind, with some faint peppery background. Hazy orange with a lovely rocky white head. Taste is lightly tart, some wheat and Sammy grain, a touch of coriander, some orange peel and increasing lemon cleaner, but no more pepper or cranberry. Medium body. Hard to finish a bottle, not so much a disgusting drinking experience as the realization that the original homebrew was likely very good.
