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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
