    Interesting. I wonder when they are going to release their re-branded packaging considering this seems like a step away from Bell's "style".

    Man, Bell's trying to go all Founder's this year with these new additions to the lineup. I like it. They're rotation has been pretty stagnant for a while.

    Sounds good. I can only hope it's a bit sour cherry and not sweet. Need to find a pool now.

    Enjoy

    Is this an April Fool's? Sounds and looks like an all-around gimmick.

    I agree. Some nice tart cherry notes added to a belgian wit sounds very refreshing. And since this is coming out in may... if it's sweet it may have the opposite effect on drinkability imo

    Hopefully they tweaked the recipe on this one. 81 is an ugly score for a Bell's beer

    Hmm . . .This sounds delicious.
    Happy that Bell's isn't just throwing out another session ipa.

    Love to see summer can offerings that aren't a session IPA! Great job Bell's I'll seek this one out.

    On the contrary. 81 is a solid score for a wheat beer, a category that is notorious for its low scores.

    Since when are wheat beers gimmicks? Beard beer is a gimmick. This is just a beer.

    Never been a repeat buyer of any beer with a score that low, regardless of style

    Correct, not a gimmick, actually on trend with the popularity of fruit in wheat beers. Poor choice in terminology. Don't want to upset the beer gods.

    Sounds good to me. I was hoping it wasn't another session IPA or some pale ale. A wheat beer with cherry juice sounds delicious for the summer.

    I'm definitely intrigued by this and will give it a shot. It'll be interesting to see what the cherries bring to the mix.
