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.

I normally avoid any beers with fruits and what-not but I bought a sampler case and this was included. Similar to their Hefeweisen with some black cherry flavor. Actually not too bad. Very big black cherry aroma too. If you like fruit beers give it a try.

On tap while waiting in ATL terminal. Poured cloudy gold. Nose is very cherry, almost like Koolaid, with some light wheat. Taste is about the same. Mouth is very syrupy. This was a pretty bad beer for me.

I like this beer. Enjoy the cherry after taste. Good beer when in deep conversation drinking slow but for many hours

hazy golden. flavor is of cherries with just hints of malt or hops, too sweet to really be anything special because the other flavors are drowned

Bottle: Poured a dirty brown color with a very thin head. Strong hints of cherries and i believe cream. Taste pretty much matches the scent. Lots of cherries and a very small hint of alcohol.

HAzy amber pour with off white head. Cherry aroma. Bubble gum, cherry, wheat and hops. This was way better than I anticipated

12oz bottle: Ruby to orange colored pour with a nice, thick ivory head. The nose lets you know cherries are the dominant note here, almost bordering on medicinal at times. The sweet cherries also dominate the wheaty body, that also offers soft notes of honey. The cherries are enjoyable, but kind of one dimensional. I would drink this beer from time to time, but one bottle is more than enough for me in one sitting.

Bottle. Rusty golden pour with minimal off-white head. Smells very strongly of cherries. Crisp, carbonated, cherry flavor with wheat malt aftertaste. Crisp. Decent summer brew, would drink again.
