Samuel Adams Longshot Cranberry Wit

(Boston, MA) - I believe that this is #2 of 3 to be approved from the 2008 Samuel Adams Longshot Competition. Carissa Sweigart, a national account manager for the brewery created Samuel Adams Cranberry Wit which will come out in April along with the others. Here is the description via Draft Magazine:

“Carissa’s wit was Thanksgiving dinner in a glass… but somehow also reminiscent of summer. Brewed with real cranberry juice, the beer has a bit of sweetness, but the cranberry’s scent and tartness were the more noticeable characters. Spiced with orange peel, cinnamon, coriander, and grains of paradise, Cranberry Wit is fragrant and full of flavor. And with a nearly 5.0% ABV, it’s the perfect accompaniment to holiday feasts.”

Here is the label for Samuel Adams Traditional Bock. The label for Mike McDole’s Longshot Double IPA awaits.
