Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat

Ale brewed with cherries. Crisp and fruity with a hint of honey.

Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat® follows the centuries old American tradition of brewing beer with native ingredients, in this case Michigan cherries. 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. A touch of honey is also added for sweetness. The end result is a sweet, refreshing beer that is light on the palate but long on complexity.

Cherries are added during the mash to add a distinct sweet and slightly tart cherry flavor to the crisp cereal notes from the wheat and bright citrusy notes from Noble hops. A touch of honey is added at the end Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat is a unique and refreshing beer with a bright crisp finish.
