Solstice D'ete
This incarnation is a cherry-flavoured beer (Solstice d'ete cerises). This beer appears a clear pinkish red hue, with a small amount of soapy light pink head, which leaves no lace as it melts away. It smells like mildly sweet cherry pie - cherries, sugar, and white grain. The taste is tart, tart, tart, tart cherry. Whew! Did I say tart? This is a lip-puckerer, all right. Under the sour cherry assault, there is a mild wheatiness detectable. The carbonation is soft, the body is sugary like fruit juice, and it finishes with sweet and sour cherry, all the way. A one-sided beverage, in the flavour department, but the balance between the big tartness and the lesser sugar sweetness makes this actually somewhat drinkable.
