Queloque Chose

Taste: Strong cherry flavor with hints of cinnamon, honey, clove and vanilla

Conclusion: This brew caught me off guard. It is a sour tasting lambic, but has a faint sweetness to it. The sweetness give way to a welcome tart flavor that gives this beer more complexity than a quantum physics formula.
You can easily sip or drink this Canadian beer all day and night. At 8% alcohol content, you may not be able to last all night, but the taste of the beer will challenge you to stop. Its smooth like a dark cherry flavored, sour wine. Needless to say, I really liked this beer. Lets hear it for our brewing friends up north.

Pomme Apple Lambic

Taste: solid sour apple flavor

Conclusion: This is an okay lambic, but its nothing great. To be honest, this brings me back to the holiday tables I used to enjoy as a kid. It tastes like the apple ciders you pour kids instead of Champaign, only the cider’s flavor lasts longer on the tongue. It is initially sharp and in your face, but the sensation does not last, unfortunately… This lambic washes way too quickly.

I give it a nostalgic 4 out of 10

Lindmans Classis Lambic

Taste: SOUR!!

Conclusion: I am still undecided, do lambics count as beers, per say or are they an offshoot like ciders? For the purposes of this site, I will review them as a beer if for no other reason that I like them…
The black currants in this brew offer a great flavor I have not tasted in an alcoholic beverage. The initial sensation is sour, but it washes away, eventually, and gives way to a pleasant sweetness. I suppose you can enjoy this beverage with a dinner, but I fancy it more of a pallet cleanser. I kid you not, it almost dries your tongue and you are left with a flavor of nothing in your mouth. Its hard to describe what nothing tastes like, but its like having a crisp clean start for your next bite of food or sip of a drink. Pretty awesome trick…

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!
