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.

Strong sweet cherry aroma. Dry, wheat taste with cherry finish. First time I tried this beer about 8 years ago I thought it was the worst beer I’ve ever tasted. Now I kind of like it and will buy it every so often. Can’t drink a lot of them but one or two is very good.

It has a light hazy body, pale golden color and a big thick white head. The aroma of cherries is very strong in this beer. There are some light malt flavors that are mostly covered up by the sweetness of the cherries and honey. The taste is good but the body doesn’t really support the sweetness. Its light to medium bodied with soft carbonation and a smooth mouth feel. It’s a very good looking and smelling beer but its balance is a little to sweet for me. However this may go well with a dark chocolate brownie. I think I will give that a try.

This beer pours a clear copper colour with ok head retention. The aroma is of cherry coke... artificial to my nose, even if it’s from real cherries. Although I typically savour the aroma of a beer and desire more of it, in this case it was almost overpowering. Taste is also of cherry cola. Slighty hoppy bitterness, but not bad. Overall an ok beer if you like the cherry smell, but otherwise not much reason to recommend. Very few wheat beer qualities.

Bottle: Not bad for a beer, but only one can be drunk in a sitting. A little too much cherry flavor and aroma.

The first one’s good, the second one makes you want to puke. Boston Brewing Company always seems to overdo it on their fruit beers...

12 oz bottle. Not a typical fruit beer. More wheat then fruit. Hint of cherry and some sweetness. Just ok.

The aroma is just striking. This beer is well balanced. A nice mild cherry flavor and appealing wheat finish.
