Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat
It poors out an orangish red color with a frothy light head. Smells of deep marichino cherries. Little else in the smell aside from a touch of hops..some kind of noble hop if i had to guess but actually pretty nondescript with the screaming cherry over it. Okay so the cherry will hit you right up front. But after this subsides there is a pretty good malty flavor. Actually a delicious maltiness, very earthy and strong. The cherry plays pretty well with it too, if only it tasted a little less like marichino and more like pie filling cherries. As far as fruit beers go this is the second best one I think I have had. Mouthfeel is unassuming and light, maybe a little warming, but i don't know how at 5.2%. The beer is an okay one. I'll warn that if you don't like fruit beers, you won't like it. If you like beer and can appreciate a good mix of fruit in it, then this is a decent beer to try.
