Brewed at: Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Type: flavored wheat beer
A/V 5.3%
First Impression
Sam Adams makes some of the finest beers I've had, and their labels look as one might expect of a big successful "micro" brewery hailing from the you-ess-of-eh. Which is to say with respect to the aforementioned, favorable in both instances.
First Sip
The cherry aspect of this beer reminds me of cherry Kool-Aid. Not exactly "real". But the beer is somehow not awful.
Halfway
Even though the "cherries" are too sweet and one-dimensional Sam has prepared a beer that is quite drinkable. Cold and refreshing, this probably has a time and a place where it might even be enjoyable.
Bottoms Up
I've got it! Summertime barbecues, picnics, that sort of thing. Save Cherry Wheat for seasonal out of doors type occasions. It might even find favor with the non-beer drinkers from whose company you have yet to permanently extricate yourself.
Not my wheelhouse. But not godawful.
66/100
