My relationship with Cherry Wheat is an unusual one. Let me put it out there now that this is one of my favorite beers. Sam Adams has developed the golden ratio for including fruit in beer. That is to say you can drink it and still retain your man card (and I am an authority on man cards and don’t you question me on that).

The cherry flavor is distinct, immediate, and perfectly balanced. It’s also the dominating flavor, but at the end of the day, you still know it’s a quality beer. As for my strange relationship, I have a habit of forgetting this one exists until I see it on a shelf or in someone’s fridge.

It’s like Christmas morning every time.
