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.

Wonderful cherry aroma. Pale, clear color with minimal head, great cherry flavor. A great beer anytime.

Very Cherry Smell, Distinct Carbonation in this one. Not being a big fan of cherry drinks this didn’t suit me well, Way to sweet taste for a beer I think.

Strong, rather sweet cherry aroma. Golden amber color with a decent white head. Thinnish body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is wheat and cherry; mostly wheat. It is sort of Hawaiian Punch flavor. The finish is lightly sweet with just a small amount of bitter. Interesting, but ???

Amber color with a hint of red. Not enough aroma to be noteworthy. Obvious cherry and malt tastes. Not the sweet cherry flavor I imagined but more of a strong cherry undertone. Also a bit of an alcohol comes through despite the low ABV. Good concept but just not what it could be.

Smells stronger than it tastes, but still doesn’t taste good. Not a good beer at all.

Pass on this one... I noticed that my wife and her friends like this one - perhaps its more for the ladies. Strong Cherry flavor, almost like a cherry coke. Smell is also very strong cherry.

I like this Sam Adams. A lot of people think its too fruity but I still enjoy the flavor. It has a good aroma and good appearance so it is still a good beer for me to drink.

Slightly reddish orange color with thin white head. It smells like canned fruit with tons of preservatives and/or artificial flavors. Or like those mixed fruit juices. Taste is just weird. Not sweet at all ... it’s got a weird sourness and some sort of bean flavor... like roasted soy bean or edamame. Not good.
