COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat® follows the centuries old American tradition of brewing beer with native ingredients, in this case Michigan cherries as well as a touch of honey. The sweet fruitiness of the cherries is balanced against the crisp, cereal note from the malted wheat and the subtle citrus flavor from the Noble hops. The end result is a sweet, refreshing beer that is light on the palate but long on complexity. Introduced in 1995 as a summer seasonal brew, Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat® developed a large enough following to be introduced as a year round style. Its distinct cherry character has made it one of the most unique and well liked styles of Samuel Adams® beer ever. Cherries are added at two different points during the brewing process. Once during the mash and again during finishing.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2024 12 ounce bottle bought at Acme in Kent, Ohio. Sweet smell of cherry. Golden and reddish in color with white head. Taste candy cherry flavor. Light In body and very drinkable. Smooth. Cherry and wheat in the aftertaste. Nice basic beer one could drink all night long. Cheers!

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2023 Pours a clear yellow with a red tinge. Head is full and slightly off white leaving lacing. Nose is cherry. Taste is cherries with a detectable tartness and wheat. Body is medium. Tartness/bitterness lingers in the dry aftertaste. It is what it says it is. 12 oz bottle BBY 3/24

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2023 Golden color with a white head. Aroma is cherry followed by wheat. Taste is sourness of the cherry and bitterness of the wheat. As advertised but too sour for a wheat.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2024 From bottle (BB May'24) in shaker. Pours murky golden amber w/thin head. I normally avoid most wheat beers, but the cherry works fairly well here to make it drinkable, both title components bring tartness.
3.6
UPDATED: SEP 23, 2021 Very mild. Bland without cherry actually added.
Slight, very slight hoppiness.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2021 A bit more cherry taste than I prefer, but it's readily available. So, I can get it whenever I want.
3.8
UPDATED: FEB 9, 2021 I typically don’t like wheat beers, but I could drink this all year long. Amazing married with a stout or dark ale like Founders Backwoods Bastard

UPDATED: JAN 1, 2021 From old notes. Birthday gift from Mrs. Drjohnrock (thanks, luv), tasted on November 24, 2020. Cloudy yellow/amber hue, aroma like a jar of maraschino cherries, flavor of wheat along with some cherry sweetness but unfortunately a cough syrup-like taste as well. Improve the recipe and brew it again, Sam.
