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.

Bottle: Not bad for a beer, but only one can be drunk in a sitting. A little too much cherry flavor and aroma.

On tap while waiting in ATL terminal. Poured cloudy gold. Nose is very cherry, almost like Koolaid, with some light wheat. Taste is about the same. Mouth is very syrupy. This was a pretty bad beer for me.

hazy golden. flavor is of cherries with just hints of malt or hops, too sweet to really be anything special because the other flavors are drowned

Bottle: Poured a dirty brown color with a very thin head. Strong hints of cherries and i believe cream. Taste pretty much matches the scent. Lots of cherries and a very small hint of alcohol.

HAzy amber pour with off white head. Cherry aroma. Bubble gum, cherry, wheat and hops. This was way better than I anticipated
