An industry, uh, price-friendly pint at the Oliver Brewsters.
This beer appears a crystal clear, pale pink-tinged golden amber colour, with one finger of thinly foamy, rather anemic dirty white head, which leaves a decent painted, and barely broken wall of lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of semi-sweet, grainy wheat malt, a bit of doughy character, quite faint black fruitiness, and soft earthy, leafy hops. The taste is a bit more forward with the tart cherry notes, but not overly so, with some tame bready wheat malt, and subtle leafy weedy hops doing most the work here.
The carbonation is a tad punchy, but to no one's detriment, the body medium-light in weight, and so-so as far as smoothness goes. It finishes just off-dry, the grainy wheatiness pretty much making the underwhelming fruit its bitch.
Meh. While not a bad fruit beer, I'm not looking to just drink Brewster's base wheat ale - I want a boatload of the Okanagan's finest, deep, dark purple cherry goodness, their Pinot Noir in a beer, something! Oh well, my hopes can take such a dashing, and I'll wait til next summer for my fix. Or pick up some Cedar Creek, whichever comes first.
