Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

Who else likes this beer? I had it for the first time yesterday at the Cincinnat HERF and I had to go out and buy some today. Good stuff :tu

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I did'nt mind the taste, but I would probably drink this beer at a birthday party or somewhere I was going to eat something sweet like cake or cookies.

I prefer the Sam Adams Lager or Ale for regular drinking, especially while smoking a stick. :ss

Im sorry I really really dont like the cherry wheat or the Cranberry Lambic. I dont like fruit flavor added to my beer. On the other hand I really like the rest of the SA line up Ive tried so far

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

Not a fan of that one, for a cherry beer I drink Lindeman's Kreik.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

No offense, but this is seriously the worst beer i've ever tried.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

its good once in a while. wouldn't be able to have more than 2 back to back too sweet for me

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I agree with pretty much everyone else it tastes like a cherry flavored Icee

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I love it! Just can't find any up here where I live. When I see it I grab some.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

It's OK. It's definitely not my favorite SA beer. If you ever have it on draft it's much better than out of the bottle. Either way though, it's too fruity for my taste.

The Cranberry Lambic is just AWFUL. :pu

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

Tastes like fermented cough syrup. Cream Stout is the only Sam Adams beer I like that I have tried.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

MMMMMMM I love the cream stout! Do they sell them in 6 packs?

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

It's not bad, the first time I tried it I loved it but now it's not one of my top picks. I am not typically a fruit/beer guy.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

It's definitely sold in 6 packs and cases.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

The only place I have seen Cream Stout is Cosco.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

My wife really likes this stuff. At a local establishment they actually put a cherry in the glass. Fruity beers are not for me. I prefer some of the other blends by Sam Adams.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

Where particular beers are sold is based on demand. If your distributor stocks it, then you should be able to order it through your local liquor store.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

Awesome stuff.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I didn't mind it really, def not my first choice. I've had almost all the Sam Adams, I like most of them.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I can't stand the Sam Adams Boston Lager. The aftertaste is terrible. Maybe in a few years I will enjoy it.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

This is what we call a girls beer Dan. :) Maybe you can chase it down with a Zima that's been flavored with skittles.

Seriously though, I don't mind it, I've had a few in the past, but much like the others said, I don't reach for it at the bar or on the shelf by any means.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

:D Now thats funny :r

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

You two crack me up :r

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I used to love heineken, but then I switched over to Boston Lager, then I started trying the others. So far, I really love the Irish Red, give it a try.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

:tpd:

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

First time I had it I was pretty blown away, I think it was a shock and a new thing.

It's ehh, it kinda has a "fake" taste to me.

I'd put it as an ehh wouldn't order it but wouldn't turn one down at all.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I like it every now and then for a change of pace.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

My wife loved it when it first came out in 96' on tap. In fact I talked the distributor out of one of the handles. I think I still have it somewhere???? Anyway, a few years latter we saw it in bottles one time and tried it and it was not half as good. Basically, the bottle had a ludens cough drop taste.

Did they change the recipe or is bottle vs. tap a lot different with this beer?

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

The formula hasn't changed. Most domestic beer companies pasteurize their bottles, but the kegs are unpasteurized. The pasteurization process gives the bottles a longer shelf life. However, the high level of heat the bottles are exposed to during the process affects the flavor.

Cherry Wheat is a great example of this because it's totally a different beer on tap vs from a bottle.

Also, you should see the new Cherry Wheat tap handle. It's very sweet. One of the coolest SA handles in my opinion.

Re: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
 

I agree that the tap tastes better.

I like the stuff, but it fills me rather quickly (Is this where the Milwaukee's Best can falls on me?).
I can only drink about 6, then I need something else.

Strwberry Blonde is another one to try if you like Cherry Wheat.
