The Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat from Boston Beer Company in Boston, Massachusetts pours out a golden amber in color with good clarity and a decent size, off white head that dissipates fairly quickly. On the nose aromas of cherry pie, Mon Cherie chocolate cherry candies and a tiny bit of malty sweetness. In the mouth the cherry flavor is much more subdued than it was on the nose but you definitely know you are drinking a cherry flavored beer. Some tartness and grainy wheat flavor too. Light side of medium bodied. Good carbonation. Little lacing. Crisp, clean mouthfeel. A bit more sour towards the end on a decent length finish. More of a fruit accented beer than a fruit beer like a lambic is. Still good though and a nice change of pace on a hot day.

12 ounce bottle, 5.35% ABV
