Mahankind (2), Okemos, Michigan, USA does not count Oct 9, 2008 I really enjoyed this. Bells take on a Cherry wheat was quite pleasent. Compared to other cherry wheats, poolside is not very sweet. The sweetness is sutble, while the flavor is rice in cherries. Beautiful red body with pink head. dukefan (167), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 17, 2008 On tap at brewery 4/11/08. Nice hint of cherry to flavor a well done American wheat beer. sliffy (1952), Columbus, Ohio, USA Apr 13, 2008 On tap at the Eccentric Cafe: Pours a hazy peach color with a white head. Aroma, wheat and some doughy yeasty notes, tart cherries, bananas. Flavor, a very bready wheat character up front that is cut nicely by a subtle tartness from the cherries, not overly sweet or fruity, this was very nice. ogglethorp (813), Ohio, USA Apr 13, 2008 On tap at the Eccentric Cafe. Pours a cloudy pink grapefruit color with a small off white head. Aroma is light cherries, grains, banana, yeast. Flavor is a nice light cherry tartness, some banana, grain, yeast. Palate is medium to light bodied, medium to light carbonation, finished slightly tart. A very nice surprise! wmubronco1992 (127), Coldwater, Michigan, USA Jun 15, 2008 Draft at Eccentric Cafe on 5/28/08. Pours a hazy pinkish color. Small white head. Very little lacing. Aroma of banana, cloves, nutmeg, and a hint of tart cherry. Based on the name I wasn’t expecting much from this one. Happily I was totally wrong. This was a great summertime beer. Very light, refreshing and drinkable. The banana and nutmeg is brought out nicely while the cherry flavor is subtle so the beer integrity is maintained. Nicely done by Bells. Would like to see this one become a summer regular.
