Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat
February 25, 2011 | 
Author 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.

Samuel Adams – Revolutionary Rye Ale
Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale
From the bottle:
The rye in this deep reddish-hued ale adds a spicy finish to the slight sweetness of the roasted male. Light pine and citrus notes fro German and American hops complement these flavors, making this medium bodied brew perfect for the transition from winter to spring.
I’m sure the citrus accounts for the bitterness, I could detect any pine, but I haven’t been licking any two by fours lately – I keed, I keed. I think the rye is a bit surprising and adds a lot of substance to this beer. It reminds me a bit of Killian’s Irish Red, but yet different and that’s not a bad thing.
I purchased this beer at the Giant Eagle in Lyndhurst as part of a Sam Adams variety pack. Twelve beers, 2 bottle of six types, for $15.99.

Samuel Adams – Noble Pils
Sam Adams Noble Pils
From the bottle:
…is one of the only brews made with all 5 Noble hops from the world’s oldest growing regions.
I could see myself enjoying a Sam Adams Noble Pils with a nice juicy burger, something substantial to offset the hops.

This unfiltered wheat ale is a fresh American version of a classic Belgian white ale.
