Smells like cherry and the taste of cherry is so strong that it tastes nothing like any other wheat beer. I would be disappointed if I had bought it because I like wheat beer. Anyway as I said the cherry in this beer overshadows anything else. This is not bad if you like cherry products, which I do. However you would not have many of these. I had this beer several months ago but because it had such a distinct taste I remember it well. bresine (9), Delaware, USA does not count | 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Confused on why this brew is offered year round?...as it came across to me as like it was better suited along side OcktoberFest in the Winter time. Strong pungent flavor of cherries which gets to be a little much after 1 or 2. Did not lack in flavor, however aftertaste was rough. I love Sam Adams brews, but Cherry Wheat not my favorite. adarbyem (1), Florida, USA does not count | 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2009 I had a six pack of this wheat beer. It does have a rather sweet aroma, though, it smells like cherry candy, very artificial. This beer is slightly cloudy, much like you would find in average wheat ales. The flavor is a change from the norm, and in hot weather can prove to be quite refreshing, just be sure to keep you other favorites nearby as this one has a bitter cherry aftertaste like you would find in cough drops. The palate leaves much to be desired, just serve this one cold to avoid complications.
Overall, this beer is an "OK" beer that is best served cold and consumed rather quickly. Just remember this is a wheat beer and can be quite filling as well. Sammy (3976), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 17, 2009 On-tap at Mr. Goodbar’s. Synthetic cherry aroma and taste. Grapefruit body and a bit of soapy head, some lace. Looks OK, average mouthfeel. Nothing special to drink or taste. Duhast500 (176), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Poured into a tasting glass from the tap.
The color is light cloudy, amber with a white head.
The smell is strong cherry, and a hint of spice.
The taste is mostly cherry but it does also have a good wheat flavor as well as a little hops.
This last try at tasting this beer became quite a surprise. I was not expecting to really have a positive feeling about this beer.
This is a beer that is good for when you need something really light but still want to drink a beer. Not a bad beer for clearing the taste buds in between Imperial porters.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2009 Golden Yellow with a hit of red, strong off-white, tan head dissapates quickly. Sweet cherry/malt smell. Taste is sweet/tart, cherry/malt taste with a bit of yeast, slightly bitter at the end.
Good beer, not too sweet for a fruit beer. pollocknicity2 (4), Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 8, 2009 Another one of my favorites. It’s got such a clean cherry taste, and the aftertaste doesn’t sour in your mouth at all. I’ve tried a lot of fruity wheat beers that really didn’t taste like the fruit they supposedly used, but no such disappointment here. I love it with a good juicy burger.
