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.

First time I had the Cherry Wheat was at the Food and Wine Expo at Expot Center a few years back. By the time I had the Cherry Wheat, I was already a little sauced, but even then, I thought it was a great beer. The next day, we went back, and the first thing I did was have a Cherry Wheat, while I was completely sober. It was still the best beer I could remember having. I’m not a big fan of fruit beer, but after having this, I’ve been trying others. I don’t agree with the others, I don’t think the cherry is overpowering. It’s clear in the smell and there is a hint of it in the finish, but nothing overpowering.

This is a great tasting beer. Not sure I could drink more than two at a time. Great in a glass with a cherry added.

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.

This is a beer that tastes like a beer and like a cherry drink. Both taste delicious. The combination is done very nicely. The beer is good enough to be enjoyed by wine snobs and people who dont even like beer, which is saying a lot.
