Samuel Adams – Cranberry Lambic




Look: Golden brown with an almost reddish, white head. It wasn’t a white head, and it wasn’t a brown/ dark head… it was reddish.

Taste: Gawd awful! This is one of the worst beers I have ever tasted in my life. The aroma is not bad, as you can smell the cranberry and sweetness, along with a slight bitter beer smell. The over powering sweet flavor of honey and cranberry, however, completely kills any beer flavor this beer may have had.

Conclusion: I approach all beers with an open mind, trying to figure out what the brewer had in mind when he created the beer. I, for the life of me, can not figure out what would possess a person to do this. I have had many a shite beer, but I have finished every beer I have been served… save this one. I could honestly not finish this beer. I had one gulp, for aroma and two sips for flavor and texture, and the rest went down the drain.
My friends did not believe me, so I cracked open another one and found similar results. My friends agreed, this is one atrocious beer.

Sam Adams, I know you can do better. I’ve had it before!

1 out of 10 (Only because that’s a low as our scale goes.)
