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.

On tap. Poured clear amber. Smelled like fake cherries. Flavor of faint cherrys and skunky wheat. Overly carbonated, felt like champagne. Not very good.

On Tap. Huge Cherry aroma and slight red, golden color. Taste is overwhelming cherry sweetness. Too much to get over for me, not a fan of this one.

Terrible aweful stuff, smells and tastes like stale cherry cola. There are hints of lemon and grain in there as well but really, it sucks.

On tap at the Concord, N.H. Ruby Tuesday restaurant. It was a lemony-yellow pour with lively and unending carbonation. Small off-white head. The aroma is chery, cherry, and more cherry. The cherry and fruity aroma overpower everything else ad nauseum. The mouthfeel is kind of creamy actually and of medum body. The flavor is like cherry Kool-Aid that makes you burp. The hops are very weak and it ends in a tart, sour fashion. It is not something I will drink frequently.

Nice cherry aroma upon pouring. Decent cherry flavoring upon the initial taste but a dry washed-out finished. Almost tastes like cherry seltzer.
