Beer Review: Sam Adams Longshot - Cranberry Wit

Every year Sam Adams conducts a home brew contest, with three winners, one of whom is an employee. One of the 2008 winners was Cranberry Wit. I had reviewed this one before when I first purchased the Longshot six-pack, but I wanted try it again right after tasting & reviewing the Cranberry Lambic. The Wit like the Lambic pairs well with poultry, but there are some differences. First off, there is no redness at all in the color of the beer or the head. The taste of the cranberries is a lot less noticable than the Lambic, and the taste is similar to the Blackberry Witbier that was part of the Summer Styles package. Probably more acceptable to the casual beer drinker, whereas the Cranberry Lambic is for the more adventurous.
