473ml can - a 'Cherry Wheat', er, something.

This beer pours a hazy, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves some broad smoke signal pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, real ripe cherries, an earthy spiciness, and some tame leafy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, damp Wheat Thins, a faint dark stone fruitiness, some light minerality, and more understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral green hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad out of the ol' basement bar fridge. It finishes off-dry, the malted wheat and faint cherry closing up shop as if in a hurry.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, nice and crisp and refreshing. It doesn't exactly bash you over the head with the cherry flavours, but they're certainly there, brooding in the background. An appropriate patio crusher, on a day where we're getting around six more inches of snow. Yah.
