Cranberry Beer

[Broke 0]

This is something that is just wrong. I drank it because I opened it, but I won't buy another one. I bought a holiday variety pack from Sam Adams. The Porter was yummy, and so was the Fizzywig ale, but the cranberry Lembrec was just wrong. I have allready tried thier winter lager wich is nice. The next I have to try is the light... I bought it so I might as well right? I don't know I have reservations about drinking light beer.

Don't say that until you've tried Ruby by McMenamin's. About the only fruit beer anyone has gotten right.

I hear you I hate berry beers with the exception of the Lindenmins Lambic beers. They come in peach, raspberry, and a few others I think. The raspberry is to die for seriously. Its call Frambouise or something to that nature... forgive the spelling. You can find it in most places I think but I have a feeling you will love it!

Bar Harbor does make a nice Blueberry ale. You need to let it sit in the fridge for about a month before you drink it though... trust me on this one.

Second that - Lindemanns Framboise Lambic rules!

I haven't tried the other varieties, but the reason I like it is the second fermentation process - true raspberry beer, instead of beer flavored with berries. It's not too sweet either.

YUM!

Supposedly the Sam Adams light isn't as light as say a bud light it's actually more like a regular beer, but just lighter than the rest of the Sam Adams line up. So tell me how you like it after you try it.

Fly it like you stole it!

I still think there is something wrong with light beer. It is made for people who don't really care about taste, but want to chug a lot. Bud Light the choice of fratboys. Bet you'll never see that on a bud light commercial

Well it's not like budwiser is a prize either.

Personally I like wheat beers so I'm not a fan of SA or Bud.

The real intent of light beers was to get the 'calorie counting crowd'. Here in the U.S., the beers are lager beers... they're a 'light' beer. So then, they water it down some more and voila! Light beer!. Attempts have been made at producing a heavier beer, like Michelob and Andeker and maybe one or two others. Heavier, European type beers don't go over that well in this country. Like everyone else selling a product in this country, beer producers want to sell to the masses.

One of the best beer experiences in the world is the Fram-noir:

1/2 pint of Lindemann's Framboise
1/2 pint of well-poured Guinness

Lightly sweet, vaguely pink head, rich, nutritious, and hugely comforting.

We drank these every Sunday night at the Moon & Sixpence in Portland for years!

Guinness is actually a light beer, not in color or taste, but in calories and carbs. Something like 125 calories and 9.9 grams of carbs while Sam Adams light has 124 calories and 9.7 grams of carbs. My vote is for the guiness if you are counting calories, plus it is like a meal, very filling.

Some lambics barely taste like beer. That doesn't mean they don't taste good, just different.

Some types have a shitload of fruit in them and almost no hops, plus they use that weird-ass lambic yeast.

Lindeman's Frambouise (sp?) rocks! I got a case two Christmas's ago. They're like small champagne bottles, cork and all. Cost just over a hundred drachmas ($.) You don't drink it as much as sip it because it's rich. When it comes to beer in general, I'll knock out a 6 to get there, a 12 pack if I'm feeling righteous, but that stuff isn't about getting drunked up, but savoring the flavor. I might partially attack a second bottle after 20 minutes, but that's it. If I'm going deep, I'll turn to Cointreau, my French friend. I did hear that Sam Adams Cranberry was a tad sweet and I've heard positive reviews so, like everything else, it's kind of a subjective thing.

You're always the starter in your own life!

My friend agreed with me about how he feels about it, but then again we are normally stout drinkers
