Continuing with the Sam Adams Winter Sampler taster, the Cranberry Lambic. This one has a nice orange/brown color with a hint of red and little head. The bitter fruity aroma is so apparent that you can hold the pint away from you and it still wafts to your nares. The cranberry is absolute on the palate. Don't like it at Thanksgiving? Don't drink this beer! This is a wheat beer brewed with cranberry juice and maple syrup from New England. A few charateristics Spalt-Spalter Noble hops are the only addition, W-68/ale yeast strain is used, 5.9%abv and 200cal/120z.
Check out the history of the true lambic.
