The tasting continues, this time with the Cranberry Lambic. After reading the description on the bottle, which described it as more or less a wheat beer with cranberry juice and after hearing from others about this beer - I went in with low expectations. The beer had that phenolly smell I associate with belgian beers, especially the lambics. The taste on the other hand was not what I expected. It was almost creamy / fruity but not overpowering. I only really noticed a subtle cranberry flavor on the back of the tounge and in the aftertaste. The body was lighter like a good wheat beer, but without the normal yeastyness. If pushed to describe the mouthfeel I'd go for tangy. Color => Red. I liked it, could easily drink a 6er, but probably wouldn't seek it out as I am not a big lambic fan, and I prefer NB frambozen over this.

Thanks to you I bought the Sam Adam's Winter Collection 12 pack. I will try this beer tonight and report back. I am not looking forward to having this beer. I am, however, looking forward to OOOOOOOOOOOOLD Feziwig.
SWEET!! ENJOY!
You can't spell lambic without lamb.
