I tried it a while back and wasn't very impressed. Well, I like to think my tastes have evolved since then, so I picked some up the other day. I can now say that I have a better understanding as to why I don't like this beer! It just tastes bad.

Sorry. I do like the blueberry ale I picked up this spring, and a peach ale I had too, but this is not good.

Blueberry ale is excellent - at least the Bar Harbor one

The Sam Adam's cherry wheat isn't THAT bad... it's more artificial cherry than cough syrup, imo. Not a good example of a wheat beer... or a fruit beer really... but not "horrid".
 
Definitely artificial cherry taste. Definitely too much artificial cherry taste . . . for me at least. But I bought it, so I choked it down. If I recall correctly, they were pop top bottles, so they got used for homebrew at least. Not a total loss.

Well said.

I don't think it's that bad -- it just has that really overpowering artificial cherry taste. I've used it as a base for a few black 'n tans -- er, black cherries -- before. :D
 
I actually dont mind the Cherry Wheat. I think it comes down to your past experiences with certain medacines and being sick. Its like when you get totally **** faced off something and get a horrid hangover, it just doesnt taste the same again.
 
I actually enjoyed this beer and thought it was interesting. I love fruit though so I could see how some people may not like it. Different strokes for different folks.
 
Sorry.. this beer is one of my favorites... most of my friends dont like it either but i really adore this brew, I order about a case a month... couldnt even say why im not crazy for cherry anything.
