Market Garden Brewery - Pearl Street P.M.

"dark wheat"

Our fourth beer of the flight was the Pearl Street P.M., which is 5.5% ABV.

"They say everything has a dark side. It's true for our Pearl Street P.M. With cherry notes, this dark wheat is still a summer favorite, but we think it's most fun to sip this after the sun goes down!"

Overall average rating: 7.3/10

The beer is a dark red amber/copper color that appears to be unfiltered. This beer is not very fragrant, although you can detect wheat, cherry, and a little barley. The taste is a woody cherry, with wheat and honey (a dull sweetness). It has a tip of the tongue bite with side and back tongue lingering. We all agree that this beer has great drinkability.

Shawn- The wheat balanced with the cherry wood develops into something new, which is smart because it shows a lot of thought. It's not what I expected, though I would rate it higher if it had more nose, 8/10.
Angela- It is kind of remniscent of Tröegs Mad Elf, but the flavor is a little off for me, 6.5/10.
Chris- There's no nose, but it has great flavor. Also important to note is that the beers are getting warm as we sit here, so that may explain why we're getting what we're getting, 7.5/10.
