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.

Aroma is wheat, spice, cranberry, a little tart. The appearance is yellow, somewhat hazy, tinge of pink, and an off-white head. The flavor is cereal grains, light tart quality, cranberries. The finish is coriander, and other spices. The mouthfeel is thin/medium. Not bad - not as bad as I expected. Easily my least favorite of he Long Shots. Appropriate on a hot summer day.

Bottle ( 12oz ). Hazy gold, huge fizzy-fluffy white head. Sour, slightly vegetal aroma - dry - yeah, cranberry. Tastes sweet and papery, sure wish it were even 1/3 as tart as the aroma - the cranberry is there, and a bit of alcohol, but it’s not great. Thick, almost choking body, not much carbonation - not an unpleasant aftertaste, but this one overall seems a little .. off, somehow.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours clear orange gold with a medium, frothy white head. Aroma of hops, raspberries, cranberries, wheat, and hints of yeast. Light body with a sort of bland mouthfeel. Some traces of tart with the cranberry. Finishes quick and clean. Above average fruit beer.

Pours a cloudy light orange with a soapy head. Nose is unimpressive and faint. Some floral citrus. Only a tad of cranberry flavor, mostly orange peel bitterness. Overall only so-so at best.

Made in sept (09) Pours a golden color with a small white crisp head. Flavors of cranberry, and reminders of other citrus zest. A full palate of yeast flavors with notes of hops. Released at the perfect time of year to enjoy
