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, 12 oz. Light copper color with a creamy white head. Aroma and flavor of cherries, additional flavor of yeast. Interesting beer.

A letdown the second time I tried it. Pours clear, honey brown. Strong fruit notes in the aroma. Taste is heavy with cherries, sourness, and mild bitterness. Not a whole lot of body, and ultimately a very mediocre effort from Sam

Bottle: poured a copper clear color with a medium white head. Aroma is cherry with slight wheat blend. Taste is cherry with some hop and wheat in the finish, mostly cherry.

Bottle pours golden with a thin white head. Smells of cherry dominate. Tastes like mostly cherry with hints of beer. Not a very good fruit beer.

2008 Bottle - Smells like Laffy Taffy, doesn’t taste quite as good. Pours a transparant tan, small white head...nose of artificial cherry, flavour is of an incredibly weak filtered hef with no yeast blended with cherry soda...next time I will probably just chew some bubble yum and spin in circles for the same effect...

Not even close to my favorite fruit beer. It has a sort of stingy cherry taste. This beer falls far below my expectations for a fruit beer.

Good for a fruity beer but not close to the best Sam Adam’s or any fruit/wheat made but a good warm day beer

This isn’t beer, it’s cherry flavored soda. Both aroma and flavor are overwhelmed by artificial cherry, and it’s cloyingly sweet. A "girl’s beer," if you will, although most women with a taste in beer will go for an actual beer instead.
