Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat

From a bottle this brew pours a hazy golden color with a finger width head. Smells like a cherry cordial. Taste is wheat, hops and cherry (no kidding - really?). A pretty refreshing beer that doesn’t overwhelm. I would drink this beer over the cranberry lambic any day. Pretty enjoyable really.

12 oz. bottle. Pours red gold with white head. Wow, this beer really smells like cherries. Reminds me of grenadine, but less artificial smelling. Slightly bitter wheat taste dominated by cherries. Pretty much every aspect of this beer can be summed up with the word "cherry. Not as bad as I expected it to be (had to drink it as part of the variety pack) but it could use maybe a little less cherry and more hop / malt character, you really can’t taste much else besides the cherries.

12oz. smells almost entirely of cherries. taste is not quite as dominated. certainly taste the wheat beer beneath it. I was avoiding these in the harvest 12 pack, but surprisingly the cherry flavor was fresh cherries, no fake flavor taste here. tough to taste much else beyond the cherries, but definitely better than expected. just not the taste i was looking for in a beer. Wouldn’t buy a 6-pack of it, but makes for a decent change of pace in the fall seasonal mix pack.

Lovely cherry aromas that carry over to the flavour. Nice beer from a major player.

Pours light golden with a touch of orange with a small white frothy head. Aroma is a lot of cherry syrupy and some wheat. Kind of a grainy character along with some other citric fruitiness. Flavor starts with a big cherry sweet kick, very strong. Gains some other character later, like the wheat, some nuttiness and a bit of caramel. Finishes lightly bitter and clean. Medium body and a soft but crisp carbonation. So so, refreshing ,exactly as advertised.

hazy gold, fluffy white head, nice lace. nose of (wait for it...) CHERRIES!!!! the cherry flavor is a touch less prominant (but just a touch) than the aroma would suggest, and there ais a touch of grain here. medium bodied, sweet finish. not bad for a fruit beer, but a little too close to cough syrup for me. hey... wait a minute... that gives me a great idea... i could drink all day... >cough< >hack< my throat is soooo sore.... single bottle purchased at binny’s in orland park.

Pours a light white head, initially you can taste the wheat, followed by a slightly sour cherry aftertaste. Overall a very light tasting beer, without a watered down aftertaste. Not bad for a fruit beer but I could not drink a whole case.

Pours hazy golden with white head. Nose is full of artificial cherry flavoring (not assuming it wasn’t real cherries added). Palate is lightly sour, with big cherry flavors (not lambic levels though), and a soft malty component towards the end. Easy to drink, good for a gateway beer and women.
