After a couple of splendidly seasonal stouts, I'll try something a little more colorful. Nib Brewing is a local gypsy brewer, connected to our friends at La Tienda de la Cerveza. Their Berliner Weisse Cherry Bomb certainly has the look of a Christmas beer. Well, maybe only halfway since it's only red. But, it is a light, fun, and different beer to try, one that I was told would be a very easy drink and pleasant to hang with. It's maybe less flexible than Glotona, the beer for every single activity, but as a refreshing weisse it won't weigh you down or fill you up before food or another beer. Let's see how it goes.
It's just like a glass of cherry 7-Up, although it's probably less bubbly. Also, it doesn't smell at all like 7-Up, or any other soda that I'm aware of. I was expecting something with a fruity kick, but it's really more of a bready aroma. There is sort of a heavy sweetness in the background, not like candied cherries might be. It is quite dry, neither especially sour or especially sweet, but with a roundness to the flavor. It's kind of like a cranberry muffin. A very organic one.
Patience, patience, something will happen eventually...
