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: Poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma and flavor reminded me of medicine. Someone already mentioned robitussin, which is close. It reminded me of Chloraseptic. Yuck! I don’t like it when my beer reminds me of something I’d take with a cold. Not a fan.

Bottle -Aroma is of a cross between a cherry slurpy and cherry robituson. Not good. The cherry flavor in this beer is way to forced and it overwhelms every other character of the beer. Drain Pour.

Bottle. Poured with a slight haziness and an orange color with a nice white head. All I really smelled from the beer was cherries. I thought this beer had a medium body, a slightly thicker texture, soft carbonation, and a lingering finish. It is a sweet beer as cherry is really all I could taste. Overall this was not a bad beer, I just wish it had a subtle hint of cherries instead a subtle hint of beer.

Bottle poured to glass. Nice rocky, 3 fingerhead that smells heavily of cherry. Sweet malty goodness with a medicinal cherry after taste. Not the

Bottle. Pours golden, clear with medium white head, nice lacing. Aroma is cherry, and some grain. Flavor is more subtle in terms of cherry, and has a decent wheat malt backbone. Little tart in finish. Generally a surprisingly good beer.

Pours a clear gold with a thick white head. Sweet aroma of cherries. A little watery but I thought it was an enjoyable beer...especially during a hot summer day. There is a ton of sweet cherry flavor in this beer though, which is nice because I like cherry. Worth a try.

Bottled. Very strong cherry aroma. Full even head that quickly disappears. Strong aftertaste of cherry. Very enjoyable if you like the fruity beers.
