Slightly cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit skunky with a light graininess from the wheat. The flavor is somewhat tart from the cherries which are not overpowering but there still isn’t much else to say about this brew. Wheat & cherry, as advertised. Nothing to write home about.

Pours a cloudy orange with a huge bright white head and lots of lacing. Aroma is faint and unappealing. It honestly smells like soap and wet barley. No hint of cherry in the least. Taste is slightly better with a sweet tart candy-like sweetness, a low, weak cherry taste, and a very sour, dry finish. Decent palate with a light body and creamy texture with a good amount of carbonation. Overall this doesn’t deserve the word "cherry" in the title, as they seem to be sorely lacking. By itself, this beer is easily dismissed. Although it is possible that this may go well with a dish that has a lot of flavor or spice, as it may help bring out the flavor of this beer.
