I'd second this opinion. I made a cranberry ale with 1.2 kg (2x600 g) frozen cranberries that turned out well IMHO. Nice subtle cranberry flavor/tartness. The ingredients were (if memory serves since the brewbook isn't handy).

Ingredients:

3 kg liquid pale malt extract
1 kg honey
1.5 oz Hallertauer (~4% AAU) boiling hops (60 min)
0.5 oz Hallertauer flavoring hops (5 min)
1.2 kg crushed frozen cranberries (steeped 10 min)
Wyeast German Ale #1007

Procedure:

Standard 1hr boil with 3 gal wort, cool in ice water, pour into 2.5 gal boiled, cooled water. Add yeast starter, rack after 7 days, bottle after 14 days with 3/4 cup corn sugar.
