Rarely in life does one encounter an actual abomination, something both perfect in every way and directed at the opposite of good. This is a well-made beer that someone doused in cherries in order to make a true gastronomic horror.

From the new genre of Wheat IPAs, which use malted wheat to cut the costs of malted barley, since apparently barley is the perique of brewing, Sam Adams presents a mildly sweet and strong beer.

At that moment, however, all light left the world, and the forces of corruption and darkness added honey and cherry juice to the mix, making a beer that tastes like cough drops and a lingering vomitous aftertaste that might induce suicide in the strongest of drinkers.

Verdict: run like hell.
