Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat Ratings and Reviews
From the label: Celebrating a centuries old American tradition of brewing with native ingredients, Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat combines Michigan cherries with a generous portion of wheat malt to produce a bright, lively ale with a crisp finish.

Pushing mom up to a bar that doesn't sell cheerleader beer (wine coolers) is usually a struggle. We handed her her own mug of Cherry Wheat and she was impressed.
I suggest stopping the bartender before the jarred cherries land in it. The extra sweetness that they add ruins the last swallows of your pint.
This past weekend I tried it with the top quarter of the pint being Guiness. A black cherry they called it. Just float the Guiness on top. It adds a different texture, and a slight chocolate taste.
The overall quality of the beer is like many from this brewery - a good choice for U.S. beer drinkers.
I enjoy micro-brews and usually do not order Samuel Adams. But as far as normal bar beer goes, this was very good. I enjoy wheat beers and pale ales, and do not like very hoppy beers. I have to admit that although I am a beer snob, Samuel Adams does some pretty good flavors.
