Mike Loves Beer

Name – Samuel Adams Longshot Cranberry Wit
Country – United States
Type – Witbier

Appearance – Pours a hazy orangish color with a bubbly head that disappeared rather quickly.

Smell – Ever so slight smell of cranberry but some other smells of orange, lemon and yeast.

Taste – A citrus like taste with that taste of yeast and wheat bread.  Nothing really there for the way of cranberry.

This one is part of the Sam Adams Longshot series of home brewed recipes and while it is a pretty good wheat it just really doesn’t have much in the way of cranberry in it.  I really didn’t pick anything up on the taste and it was only mildly present on the smell.  So that leaves me rather confused.  If you are looking to get a good cranberry taste then you really won’t get it here but you do get a good wheat beer anyway.

Overall Grade – C+
