Aug 30, 2008 Boy did I used to hate this beer. Tap at Uncle Bear’s. Had it again tonight and what struck me the most was the PURE MARASCHINO cherry nose. Unreal. Safe to say it kept me from hating it. I also found the fruit more mellow, less synthetic, and more blended with the wheat. Still, if the cherries were sour and they aged it in a Utopias barrell, they might have something proper...

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle 07’. Cherries and light wheat in the nose. Brilliant amber pour with crema head. Flavor is all cherries and bitterness. Cloying sweetness in the finish. Not a fruit nut so that has definetly colored this rating.

Aug 29, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pour is bright copper, slightly hazy. Creamy white 1 finger head dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of wheat and cherry, increasingly so as it warms. Taste is wheat malt, with sweet cherry upfront. I do not get any citrus, but a soft bitterness is present. Body is light, palate on the thin side. Very refreshing brew.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle: Poured a lightly red color ale with a small foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of sweet Wisconsin cherries with some more subtle wheat malt. Taste is also dominated by the sweet Wisconsin cherries with a light medicinal note that I wasn’t exactly fond of. Wheat is very subdued and almost impossible to detect. A bit too much of the cough syrup taste for my taste buds but still a worthless effort.

Aug 21, 2008 Very refreshing and sweet. Say what you want about fruit in beer, but this is just delicious in my opinion. Subtle, sweet and finishes clean with a pleasant aftertaste. Good lawnmower beer.

Aug 18, 2008 Works better in concept than in execution. Cherry Wheat is a light, summery beer with an almost overpowering cherry taste. A smooth palate turns to sickly sweetness if the beer is just warmer than chilled.

Aug 18, 2008 Bottled. Very strong cherry up front, both in the nose and mouth. Not my cup of brew. Really not very fond of this.
kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA
Aug 17, 2008 On draught at Sunset Bar and Grille (Boston, MA). Pours a clear dark golden with one finger white head. Aroma is decidedly cherry with notes of grain and bread, some yeast. Flavor is also strongly cherry with wheat notes and some spice. Generally light body with a slightly sweet finish. Refreshing and interesting ale.
