Wheat

I first heard about Cheerwine Ale from a social media post from The local Charities newspaper. This beer is from NoDa Brewing Company. This beer is made here in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is 5.2%. This beer is a wheat beer with cheery flavoring. If you aren’t familiar with Cheerwine, it is a cherry soft drink made with cherries in North Carolina. Cheerwine has been in business since 1917. This beer pours orange with red hues and a three-finger white fluffy head. The aroma is sweet cherry and light wheat. The taste is cherry and sweet, and there’s a faint cherry syrup note. It does taste like a lightly flavored Cheerwine. The mouthfeel is light. Then you come to a sweet cherry finish. Then an aftertaste of faint cherry/wheat that fades off with a little tart note. Does this taste like an actual Cheerwine? Well, not exactly. But it is like a lighter version of a Cheerwine. I would give this an A. This ale is sweet enough with a cherry flavor. I would recommend drinking this beer. It’s a tasty yet refreshing beer. Please stay safe, be kind, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This wheat beer from San Leandro, California, Hell or High Mango, is an end-of-summer seasonal. This beer is a version of 21st Amendment Brewery’s other wheat beer, Hell or High Watermelon. This mango wheat beer is 4.9% ABV. This beer has Two-Row, Pale, and White Wheat malts. It also has Magnum hops as well as fresh mangos. This wheat beer pours a yellow color with one finger quickly fading head. The aroma is sweet mangos and wheat. The taste is juicy, big on the mangos, melons, peachy, and wheat notes. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Then this mango beer finishes with a juicy tropical fruity flavor. The aftertaste is a sweet tropical fruit, juice, ripe, juicy mangos, and melon. This beer is good, but I think the watermelon version is slightly better. I would give Hell or High Mango a B. It is a solid, refreshing beer that goes down easy. The wheat aspect of this wheat beer is lighter than I would have liked. That might be because mango is the more dominant flavor. That is not so bad. I still enjoyed this, and I recommend this Hell or High Mango. Please be kind, stay safe and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Golden Road Brewing Mango Cart Mango Wheat Ale, 4.0% ABV first in a series inspired by Los Angeles fruit cart vendors, brewed with 2-row, wheat malts, and Bravo hops. Mango Cart pours a bight yellow with a one finger fizzy white head that quickly fades away with aromas of sweet ripe tropical mango. The flavor is filled with fresh ripe mango sweetness with some light tartness, and a light to medium mouthfeel that has a nice tropical mango into the aftertaste with a hint of a light wheat note. This is very easy to drink with loads of bold mango sweet flavors, I give Golden Road Brewing Mango Cart Mango Wheat Ale an A+. It is a solid beer, but I didn’t really get much wheat ale qualities in mango cart which can be good becuase wheat beer tend to be heavier Mango Cart was not that heavy which along with it’s non overbmang flavor makes it a good sessionable beer, yes it crushable (easy to drink). So I recommend Golden Road Brewing Mango Cart Mango Wheat Ale its really tasty. Please stay safe and enjoy responsible! Cheers!
