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.

The aroma was awesome. Nice cherry smell to it and I had high hopes going in. It wasn’t bad...but a little too much cherry for me. Got to love Sam for putting stuff like this out.

Pours out clear mostly dark golden color with a nice black cherry aroma. Taste is light on the palate, mostly dark cherries, slight malt going on. Better than I expected.

Bottle. Poured red tinged amber with foamy white head that dissipated rapidly. Aroma of citrus and cherries. Thin flavour, with more cherries and not much else. Bitter cherry finish. I can’t rave about this, nor damn it either.

Pours a hazy light amber with quickly diminishing head. Nose of sweet cherries and malt. Flavour was too artificial and the cherry was overpowering and forced.

I loved it. It’s one to enjoy once in a while, not a bunch at once. Golden color with a white head that disappears. Smells of cherries and has a great cherry taste. here’s what I have to say..cherry wheat, what a treat!

A nice cherry flavor. Like many fruit flavored beers, it is best with a meal, and in small doses.

A beer many either love or hate - certainly a nice malty cherry flavor. Certainly not a Framboise but in a way a mass produced watered down (in taste) replica.
