I don't care much for the Old Fezziwig, too much "stuff" in the flavors for me, sort of like your reaction to Winter Wassail.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915410231396312718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10396712.post-1136307590881085952006-01-03T11:59:00.000-05:002006-01-03T11:59:00.000-05:00Okay, now see, you're wrong.

And I can say that definitively because, well, it's my blog. <BR/><BR/>You're right, now that I think about it, about the distinctive "Saranac" flavor that runs across all of their brews. But it's not a stale or skunky flavor. Rather, I find it to be crisp and tasty. <BR/><BR/>I can tell you all about how to discern if a beer is going to taste skunky. There's an easy test that'll let you know right away. But that's something for yet another post... <BR/><BR/>You're right about the Cranberry Lambic. It is rather tasty. Sam Adams has several seasonal flavors that I like. Two of the others are a Cherry Wheat, which I haven't had in a couple of years, and Old Fezziwig.Roberius Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710869540420737057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10396712.post-1136248267634094742006-01-02T19:31:00.000-05:002006-01-02T19:31:00.000-05:00Man, we just don't agree on beers, do we?

And I realized why I never buy Saranac-99% of their beers taste skunky. I had a friend who always used to buy cases of it in college, and that was my opinion of it then, too. The flavors are nice, I suppose, but overtop of all of them is a distinct "Saranac" taste that, to me, tastes as if the beer has just started to turn. <BR/>As far as winter beers go, my favorite has always been Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic. They don't produce it every year (to my knowledge) but when I do see it, I have to get a 6 pack. I'm sure it has something to do with my love of all things cranberry, but damn, that's a good beer. <BR/><BR/>RichAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915410231396312718noreply@blogger.com
