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.

This is a cloudy dark wheat beer. Smells strongly of sour cherries. It has a strong cherry syrup flavor with a bitter aftertaste.

Hazy, blonde copper pour into thick, white pillowy head that slowly melts down the glass into sticky lacing as carbonated bubbles rise into a pool of foam. Appearance in the glass is almost amber until held up to the light. Pleasant aroma of ripened cherries with hint of piney hops and doughy biscuit. Initial flavor of malted wheat bread and tart cherries quickly fading to sweet honey and apricot-orange citrus with a lingering toasted malty wheat finish.

Bottle. Didn’t care for this one too much. The worst Sam Adams brew I’ve tasted of yet.

Draft from Sam Adams Celebrates Cincinnati in concourse A of terminal 3 at CVG. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small white head. Aroma of cocktail cherry, honey, wheat, sugar, and caramel- the nose is better than the flavor, which mashes those components together for something that tastes like a childrens’ breakfast cereal or one of those fruit and cream candies. Smooth, medium-bodied, gentle, and fruity without any tartness. Sweet from start to finish.

Not very good. Low alcohol fruit wheat beers scare me. I wouldn’t have got this one except it came in a variety pack. I thought - its cool that cherry wheat’s included - maybe I’ve been unfair to the style. Now I’m drinking more and its growing on me. Still not great though. Weird dry atificialish cherry flavor on top of a very light hoppy wheat beer. Smell is mildly disturbing - very cherry cough droppy. Much easier to drink than the smell leads you to believe. Just a little bit refreshing.
