Samuel Adams has just unveiled a new beer variety that is sure to make waves in the craft beer world. Following the release of their first new winter exclusive beer in decades, the beloved brewer has introduced the Cherry Bomb ale, a permanent addition to their lineup with a twist.
The Cherry Bomb is an Imperial Wheat Ale boasting a nine percent alcohol by volume (ABV), making it significantly stronger than some of Sam Adams’ other popular brews. While not as potent as their extreme Utopia beer with a whopping 30 percent ABV, the Cherry Bomb is nearly twice as strong as their best-selling Boston Lager. This bold move into higher ABV territory is a testament to the brand’s commitment to crafting innovative and flavorful beers.
Made with a blend of two-row pale malt, malted wheat, Simcoe hops, honey, and real cherry juice, the Cherry Bomb promises a full-bodied drinking experience. Its golden, slightly veiled appearance is matched by aromatic notes of black cherry and honeyed wheat, resulting in a beer that delivers a dark candied black cherry juice with a hint of honey. The brew finishes with a clean, tart cherry finish and a touch of booziness, rounding out a complex and satisfying flavor profile.
“We saw a massive opportunity to bring our signature craftsmanship to the high-ABV category with a flavor that consumers love but isn’t currently in the marketplace,” shared John McElhenny, senior brand manager of Samuel Adams. The Cherry Bomb is a perfect choice for beer lovers seeking bold cherry flavor and a higher ABV without compromising on a crisp finish, making it ideal for enjoying alone or sharing with friends.
Samuel Adams’ Cherry Bomb ale will be available year-round in 19.2-ounce single-serve cans, making it convenient for fans to enjoy at home or on the go. Look for it on shelves at convenience stores, liquor stores, and grocery stores near you. With its bold flavor profile and elevated ABV, the Cherry Bomb is a must-try for those looking to sip on something unique and refreshing in the world of craft beer.
