This Berliner Weisse-style beer is brewed with generous amounts of Montmorency cherries, resulting in a vibrant crimson hue and a billowing, fluffy head that lingers gracefully atop the glass. The aroma is a symphony of tart and fruity notes, with the Montmorency cherries taking center stage, complemented by hints of wheat, lactic acidity, and a subtle funk. The palate is greeted by a burst of sharp cherry tartness, reminiscent of a freshly picked fruit. The lactic acidity provides a refreshing tang, balancing the sweetness, while the subtle wheaty body adds complexity and a smooth mouthfeel. This light-bodied and incredibly refreshing beer boasts a lively carbonation that creates a crisp and effervescent experience. Behemoth Brewing's "On Top Cherry" is a delightful and thirst-quenching brew, perfect for a warm summer day.
