Tart Cherry Ales

Bell’s Poolside Ale Blends Wheat Ale with Cherry Juice

— June 15, 2016 — Lifestyle
This light and fruity summer ale from Bell’s Brewery is aptly branded 'Poolside Ale' and offers a unique alternative to other classic brews. The beer beverage can be described as a Belgian-inspired Wheat Ale that has the taste of light clove notes. This unusual ingredient is further enhanced with the addition of cherry juice from 100% Montmorency tart cherries. This fusion of flavors is suggested with the color selection for the teal and red-accented design of the Poolside Ale beer cans.

A rise in global foodie culture and experimental eating has inspired chefs, brands and consumers to add in notes of sweet, sour, spicy or savory flavors where they are least expected in food and beverage products.
