So I picked up one of the Sam Adams Winter Sampelrs: 2x each of Boston Lager, Old Fezziwig Ale, Cranberry Lambic, Cream Stout, Holiday Porter and Winter Lager. Should be interesting.
So far:
"Samuel Adams® Cranberry Lambic is a fruit beer that draws its flavor not just from the cranberries it is brewed with, but also from the unique fermentation character imparted by the rare wild yeast strain. The result is a flavor rich in fruitiness and reminiscent of cranberries and bananas, cloves and nutmeg. The yeast fermentation also will create a slight sourness on the sides of the palate, a signature of the original Lambic style which, with the subtle cereal note from the wheat malt, remind its drinker that, as fruity a beer as this is, it is still a beer."It's not bad by any means, but I'm not personally fond of this brew. I like cranberries, but not in my beer. I feel like I might just as well have drank this
and probably enjoyed it a little more. Still, I can't fault them for attempting it.
