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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

It's definitely sold in 6 packs and cases.
The only place I have seen Cream Stout is Cosco.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
