TungstenGT (33), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Aug 17, 2008 Definitely can taste the cherry in this beer. The flavor was not to my liking. A little too sweet for a beer in my opinion. FlssmrBrewAlum (1079), Lisle, Illinois, USA Aug 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of another friend at a beer tasting. Pours a nice muted hazy amberish color with a decent white head. Aroma is largely cherries up front. Tast is similar, more muted sour cherries (Better than a sticky sweet mess) with some nice wheaty malt compliments. Finishes smooth and clean. I like the fact that this is not overly sweet and really hits the sourness head on. GrooveDaddy (10), Bham, Alabama, USA Aug 15, 2008 Ahhh, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat...
For a dude who loves cherries, this is the stuff....practically a dessert in itself!
The strong cherry aroma really grooves with the olfactories...and the non-sweet-yet-very-cherry taste lingers in a very good way...I could sometimes feel myself taste it the next day at work - more of a strong, good memory but still...
One thing - this stuff is only good fresh...I’ve had some Cherry Wheat that had been sitting around for many months, and had gotten really bad...same with all Sam Adams beers I’ve tried - only really good when relatively fresh - they don’t age too well at all! Steinface (77), Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 15, 2008 Reeks and tastes of cherry, whatchoo know? A nice beer to have after dinner. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA Aug 14, 2008 Strong cherry aroma, which I personally enjoyed. Flavor of some sweet and some tart of cherries and wheats. Went down smooth, very drinkable. HyreOne (9), York, South Carolina, USA does not count Aug 13, 2008 Has settled down to a thin head. Light straw color. Smells of cherries (duh) maybe a slight note of honey. Slightly acidic and warming with a slight malty and cherry flavor. Dry-ish finish with slightly sticky cherries.Light to medium body feel. Not a beer would choose to drink regularly. JohnCoyne (70), USA Aug 13, 2008 Smells of sticky cherries and little else. Tastes of wheat and lots of cherry, almost a little too sweet. Not too bad though. WesKBob (317), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Aug 10, 2008 Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Aroma is extremely strong with cherries and syrupy sweet--like a cherry Slurpee. Flavor is more muted, but cherry is still very noticeable. Some wheat and biscuit malt notes, but they are overpowered by the cherries. Mouthfeel is watery. Refreshing enough, I suppose, but the cherries are just too overpowering to make this anything more than a novelty beer.
