Fruit beers originated in Belgium and we at The Station are proud to offer our version of these continental classics. Our light-bodied Chessie Cherry Wheat is a blend of red cherries and wheat ale, which yields a slightly sweet, yet agreeably tart, fruit ale.

Pours hazy, yellowish gold to orange. Smell is storng cherries and is sweet and cough syrup like, but still somewhat nice. Taste is thin cherry malt. This one was exceptionally thin flavor and body-wise and was definitely one of my least favorite of their otherwise pretty good beers.

Sampled from the full sampler at Flossmoor Station. Poured a more deep orange hue with a soapy head that sticks around. Aromas of cherries that is quite inviting, not overpowering or leaving me with a feeling of impending "Sugar Sweet Beer" doom. Initial taste is watery with a decent, albeit typical, cherry bite. A bit sweet, but not overpowering. Finished clean and smooth with a bit of a wheaty bite. Decent.

Pour is lightly hazed golden with a thin sticky white head...strong cherry sour candy aroma...chemical cherry sweetness with a lingering medicinal finish...

Draft sample at Brewpub. Pours clear golden color with an average creamy white head that was mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate dark cherry aroma. Light body. Medium sweet cherry flavor with a light to medium sweet finish of an average duration. My expectations where not met.

On tap at the pub. Light, clear shade of slightly reddened gold. Juicy, sugary maraschino cherry and cream aroma; the darker suggestions of currant and black cherry are submerged for the most part with the buried remnants of wheat. Sticky as a popsickle. Dry and very sweet taste of cherry skins, licorice, paper, and light hints of quiet citrus. Undercarbonated, and very soft in the mouth; finishes very tepidly with a bit of synthetic touch. Unimpressive, and inoffensive.

Better than the macro versions of cherry wheat since not as cloying but this is just not my thing. This is by far the best microbrew-pub reastauant brews I’ve had and food and service was excellent. Highly recommended.

On tap at Flossmoor, 9/22/07. Very pale pinkish orange color with very little head, non-existent lacing. Aroma is artificial cherry syrup. Flavor is maraschino cherries. Trying to find the tartness... yeah it’s not there.
