Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic

Pros: Medium bodied; easy to drink
Cons: A little too fruity; available only in the late fall/winter season

Samuel Adams products, brewed by the Boston Beer Company, include a wide range of both seasonal and year- round offerings. This popular craft- brewer produces mainstays like its Boston Lager and Boston Ale, along with seasonal beer for Spring, Fall, ...

Pros: Refreshing, delicious interpretation of an old world style with a New England Twist
Cons: Not a lambic

Poor Jim Koch. The man who founded Boston Beer and the Samuel Adams brand, built a market for the beer first by pounding the Boston bar scene and then by aggressively promoting it, and who helped make “microbrew” a household word in America, is in my ...

Pros: it looks sort of pretty in the glass on the table
Cons: the taste

The Samuel Adams line of beers brewed by the Boston Brewing Company have been a favorite of mine. Up until tasting the Cranberry Lambic selection out of the Holiday Sampler Pack, I’d never had a beer from them I ...

Pros: Ummm. Errr. It's wet. It has alcohol too...
Cons: Unbalanced, inconsistent concoction that bears no resemblance to lambic and doesn't even taste good.

I do not like Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic. I do not like it, not one little bit. I would not drink it in a box. I would not drink it with a fox. I would not drink it here or there. I would not drink it anywhere. I do not like this ...

Pros: Good, solid beer that is - and has been - enjoyable to drink.
Cons: Not necessarily best representative of Lambic style, too sweet to drink many of

I've always been a fan of the variety packs - cereal, lifesavers ... and most especially beer. To me, it gives me an opportunity to try a bunch of varieties that I might not enjoy if I had to buy an entire six-pack on faith. As such, when I see sampler ...

Pros: It's good if you like cranberries
Cons: I can take or leave cranberries. Combining anything with maple is risky.

I am a big fan of the Sam Adams family of beers. Cherry Wheat has to be one of my favorites. This year, I got the bug to start a database of all the beers I have tried. When my brother was given the Sam Adams seasonal 12 pack last year, he said the ...

Pros: easy to avoid...
Cons: unless you buy the winter sampler.

I don't want anyone to think I'm unaware, so... Aren't You Just "Piling On"? From its inception oh, maybe a decade or so ago by now, Samuel Adams' Cranberry Lambic has been a love-it-or-hate-it beer. Very rarely is a beer so divisive ...

Pros: Lambic in the USA? by Sam Adams?
Cons: Hardly drinkable

I was pretty intersested a while ago to hear that Sam Adams produced a lambic. How intriguing that a style so hard to come by and when found, is usually expensive would be brewed by one of the USA's best known breweries.

I actually picked this...

Pros: A well crafted fruit/wheat beer
Cons: incorrectly named

Before I begin I want to fill readers in on a little beer information on the lambic style. The lambic style ale is indigenous to the Brabant region of Belgium. These ales are fermented with air borne yeast native to that area. Technically, a true...

Pros: Crisp taste, not sweet
Cons: Limited Availability

Cranberry Lambic, a fruit beer made by Samuel Adams, is a Winter seasonal, only available in the Winter sampler pack. I recently bought the sampler because it had another beer I really wanted to try ( Old Fezzwig Ale ) . I'm not fond of fruit beers but si ...

Pros: Very Delicate Cranberry Flavor
Cons: Confusing name for those that should know better

One of the best tasting American-made wheat beers! You might pass up one of the better flavored beers around if you get hung up on the name - just think of it as a cranberry wheat beer and enjoy the taste!!!

Important - be sure to check the...

Pros: None
Cons: Bitter, is not a true Lambic with fruity flavor

As a person who does not really like the taste of beer, I was pleased to be introduced to Lambics. My favorite Lambic, Lindenman's Framboise, tastes more like a raspberry champagne and is very smooth. I was extremely disappointed when I took a sip of...

Pros: goes down easy, doesn't stink, doesn't bite
Cons: name puts chips on people's shoulders

All right, my advice on this beer is, first, forget thinking of the name as something that holds special meaning. Of course it's not a real lambic. Just think of the name as a pretty combination of words. Besides, no one would want to drink a beer...

Pros: None
Cons: Undrinkable

A lambic is described as a beer native to the Belgium using wild yeast.
It is supposed to be tart and funky.
This concoction is so foul that it borders on undrinkable. The predominant flavor is that of Underwood Spread potted meat products....

Pros: Light & easy to drink
Cons: Seasonally brewed

A true Lambic it is not. But, it is a very drinkable, smooth fruit beer. It's balanced well and tastes great. I am not a huge fan of Sam Adam's and their "12 beers that all taste alike" brewing practice, but I race to the liquor store every...
