This particular selection caught my eye. Cherry Wheat? Sounds good. It was not a fruit beer per say, not a lambic or a framboise. This was a simple wheat ale brewed with real cherries. I vaguely doubted the claim.
Upon popping the cap, I took a sniff. It smelled lightly hoppy, definitely could smell the wheat. And what was that... cherries? I was intrigued. Then I tasted it. Light, very smooth, a good wheat ale. Then it kind of popped in my mouth... Cherries? It tasted like cherries. It was good. Really good. It didn't overpower the beer, or turn it into something else. The full body and flavor of the rich wheat and the smooth texture stood on there own and yet somehow the presence of cherries coexisted in a way that could only be described as symbiotic. With each sip the flavors blended more naturally, and soon I found myself with an empty bottle wishing for more.
