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.

This is a high qualtiy brew that has taken much flak because people don’t like cherries. The head is a good wheat beer head and it lasts while in the glass. The cherry smell is appropriate. The taste is tart and sweet of cherry and the hopps bring balance to this brew. The color is great and the flavor is great.

This is a well constructed beer, but I just do not like Cherry flavored anything. I like the color, but the aroma and taste is less beer and much too cherry heavy. On the bright side, it does not linger.

disappointing beer from sam adams, thin and artificial in cherry taste. i am not much of a fruit beer fan but i have had fruit beers that actually tasted like beer, this just tasted like carbonated cherrys.
