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.

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.

Red color. Sweet and tart. Very cherry, almost like sucking a cherry a lollipop. Not my cup of tea.

Nice looking red pour, hits the nose instantly with a whiff of cherry cough medicine, taste was the same, too way too sweet, tasted like Vicks, part of a holiday sampler, needless to say I passed this one off.

Amber pour, and smelled like cherries with grain...I thought the aroma was very good. Taste sort of reminded me of cherry cough syrup...not terrible, but not very good. Slightly dry and sweet finish. Not a bad Sam Adams, if you aren’t a fan of sweet beer then you won’t like this beer...it is very sweet.

Pours a hazy light yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of lots of cherries, fake sugared cherries though, not sour. Flavor was much the same way too sweet. I really have a hard time beleiving they used real cherries in this and not extract.
