Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic

Sat Dec 19, 2009 9:04 am

Someone brought a 12 pack of SA 'Winter" beers over last week. Not a big fan of most of these, especially the Cranberry Lambic. Good lord this sucked! Not sour in the least, no cranberry detected at all, tasted like sweet, unfermented wort. Dumped it after a few sips. The second bottle that came with the 12 pack will probably age in a fridge for years...

I'm a big Sam Adams fan but I never liked the Cranberry Lambic or the Cherry Wheat. Both are way too syrupy.

another not-a-fan of the Crapberry Lambic. come to think of it, I don't know anyone that is.

It's disappointing that they choose to put "lambic" on the label. It's almost shameful.

That was my first "lambic" and I swore that if that's what a lambic was, I'd never drink another one. But thanks to the BN, I decided to try a REAL lambic and love them. The Sam Adams one is just garbage.
