Wow... long time no post around here. Been busy with the first born.

Two thoughts on these cherry beers. First, not nearly enough cherry! It has a faint aroma and some background flavor. People generally not familiar with cherry beers seem to say they can't pick up any cherry. I would maybe double if not triple the cherries next time.

The second issue, is I pick up a little metallic flavor. I think it's stronger in the American wheat. At first I thought something might have gone weird with that one, but I later I could pick it up in the Belgian too. First guess might be the cherry cans.

The beer did turn out a little tart from the cherries, and also has a sort of pink lemon aid look to it.

So, next time I might go for frozen cherries, or at least canned cherries from someone else.
