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.

Bowled over by the cherry aroma. Flavor of tart cherries and grain. Good for a change of pace.

You know, I kind of liked this beer. Had a bunch of these at a friends barbecue this afternoon. It serves it’s purpose: Easy drinking, light refreshing, tasty.

Color was a golden color with a extremely small few fruit zests present. Smell was all cherry with a hint of vanilla. Taste is almost all cherry. It is strange, the flavor of cherries is so powerful but compliments the flavor very nicely. A faint taste is present (maybe honey?). It is for all intensive purposes an average beer with a pleasant cherry taste. I am giving this beer a better review than I think I should. Mainly because I think it will fill a good void of giving me the drink I need when I am not in the mood for a stronger beer. It is very drinkable for one or two bottles.

12 oz. I am not much for a fruit beer. However, this beer has synthesized some very distinct components. While its sweetness may override the hops, it makes for a fine cherry beer to sample.

I just finished a couple bottles of this stuff. Pretty good, 12 ounce bottle. The cherry flavor is present but not over powering. pretty good to try but i wouldnt frequently drink it

12 oz bottle from a mix pack. Pours clear golden with a bg frothy head. Aroma of cherry and maybe some floral hops. Cherry flavor from the get go reminds me of the old Luden’s cherry cough drops. Dry finish with a touch of hop bitterness. Tastes better than Vicks Formula 44!
