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.

Bottled. Man this is pretty awful. Its like cherry cough syrup with a little wheat and carbonation. Not worth the calories to me, drain pour.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma is all cherry. Poured pale amber/gold in color with a small white head that diminished. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Full of small particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes like a cherry soda. Just lots of cherry. Light to medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Cherry finish with a hint of medicine and some dryness.

Awesome. Then again I love Cave Creek Chili Beer!! Sam Adams made one great beer here. Of course, you need to love cherries. If you do, try this. It is not a Lambic by any means, but it does work well. The cherry flavor is a hint, not an answer to this beer. The powerful Sam Adams hops comes thru well. My only disappointment is that the cherry flavor is "artificial". Why not use real cherry flavoring? Oh well..if you can get this on tap, pull up a chair and drink up!!

Pours hazy ruby into a shaker. Off-white head with medium retention. Off-wheat aromas. Flat with cloying fruit flavors from front to back..

~Pours a cloudy orange with small white head. ~An acidic sour cherry and wheat scent. ~Starts off a tart cherry flavor and finishes with a dry wheat flavor. ~Light feel, quick finish. ~An enjoyable, light, fruit beer.

Bottle. Pours a thick gold /orange with foamy head. Smells like alot of mercino cherries and grainy and sweet. Tastes very cherry, a little too much cherry taste for me, but does follow up good with some good roasted wheat flavor. Sweet aftertaste. Not bad, but not my kind of beer.

Bottle @ Tilted Kilt, Tempe. Cherry aroma on the nose. Golden bobdy with decent head. Cherries dominated the flavor over the wheat which I liked. Good fruit beer beer compared to most out there.
