Sea Rose Tart Cherry Wheat Ale

A tiny bit sour, not much like a sour ale, but those tart cherries are making their presence known. This would be better with rev'd up carbonation, I think, but it is still quite good. Sharp and refreshing. The wheat is definitely buried, the way I do it in my own wheat brews. I don't remember thinking this was special on my first bottle, but damn now (and I've had more than a bit to drink already) I can't find an obvious flaw. A nice overall, not far from the mainstream, but definitely different and good brew. These guys keep cranking 'em out, and I like 'em. Ballast Point keeps working their way up my list of favorite brewers by producing solid and innovative offerings. Cheers to that! ID+
