Cherry wheat way overcarbed

[ThreeTaps]

Hi all,

My cherry wheat from 6 months ago is overcarbed due to the cherry extract. Its been in the bottle for over 4 months and it is actually uncomfortable to drink...its like supercharged champagne. Anything I can do to tone it down? The flavor is good, so I really want to drink it.

One thought might be to decant and let it de-gas for awhile before drinking. Do the bottles gush when opened? If so, chill severely before opening to reduce the gush then pour and wait awhile.

This has happened to me as well and the solution is as simple as pouring the glass 5 minutes before you want to drink it.
