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.

12oz bottle: pours light brown with slow fading white head, aroma of cherrys and a hint of malt, flavor has a lot more cherrys in it than i thought but its the malt thats killing it very pale and bland. get a decent malt to back the cherry and this brew wouldnt be half bad.

Pretty slight hint of cherries, I had to move the beer around in my mouth a bit to get the full cherry flavor. I didn’t really get any of the "cough syrup" flavor that people seem to be getting. Nice wheat malty aftertaste. I like it.

very cherry makes me want a slushy sweet - sweet - the taste didn’t offend me like I thought that it would - could only have one in a setting and only if I am in the mood for something sweet. I love Cherries and that helps this rating.

Had a strong taste like cherry flavored bubblegum, though I did like the color. A good starter beer for a novice.

Bottle. Aroma and flavor of cherries. Cherry flavor transfers into a slight cough syrup aftertaste. Almost a very good beer.

I was afraid this was going to happen... Not a fan of fruit beers and still not. One of the few beers I could not finish. Good luck to those who like this style of beer.

A very good beer, great aftertaste, and just a hint of cherries. Not so much the cough syrup thing I have been hearing.

Seen a neighbor have one. I felt I had to try a beer this red beer. Aroma was good, but this beer had a cough syrup aftertaste I didn’t care for.
