Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb if you want bright, straightforward fruit candy,
New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red if you want tart complexity and funkiness.
Both hit 5% ABV and 10 IBUs, so they're equally approachable, but they're chasing completely different cherry experiences. Melvin's is the fun, loud version; New Glarus is the one that makes you think.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb
Cherry Bomb tastes exactly like its name promises—artificial cherry syrup and bright fruit jump right out. It's sweet, almost soda-like, with no funk or acidity to complicate things. The low IBU and light body mean it goes down easy, like someone liquified a cherry lollipop. If you want to taste cherry without thinking, this is your move.
New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red
Wisconsin Belgian Red has this tart, slightly sour edge that catches you off-guard. The cherry is real but tangy—almost like a tart cherry jam with wild yeast funk underneath. There's wood and subtle barrel character that makes it feel more thoughtful, more food-friendly. This one reveals itself slowly.
