Oct 26, 2008 Tried thanks to poperinge and shared with my wife! Wow glad i left this till now, been waiting for the right moment...what a beer! not as carbonated as is advertised but who cares! Intense cherry and light almonds on the nose and in the flavour....it’s literally like eating a ripe cherry and then sucking on the stone, awesome!

does not count  Oct 19, 2008 It had been a few years since I last had this beer. Shared one with some friends...It did not disappoint. Beautiful nose with the perfect melding of the cherries. Wonderful

Oct 17, 2008 What a great thing. A beer my wife loves. The aroma and taste of cherries is so, so natural is the word that comes to mind. All the flavor and character of eating a fresh, just off the tree cherry. I can think of no other drink that captures the sensation of a fresh cherry so well. I start with a bias against fruit drinks of any kind, but that said, this is exceptional.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle picked up in New Glarus during Labor Day. Pours hazy amber-red with a thin slightly pinkish off white head. Significant cherry aroma with a hint of sherry. Intense taste of cherries and good carbonation but goes down smooth. Tart finish that intensifies if the beer warms up a bit. Lambic-like characteristics makes the Begian Red a good drinking beer on a warm day unless you are unfortunate enough to hate cherries.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Cole’s. Curses: WHY CAN’T I DRINK THIS MORE OFTEN? Hazy strawberry color with little head. Intense cherry pie, compacted jammy aroma. Soft but solid carbonation. Intense jammy body. Pie filling in a glass. Pounds of cherries transformed into beer by goddesses. Kick ass!!! Pleeeeease can I have more? Please?

Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Oct 29, 2008Rating # 500! Cloudy garnet pour with off-white, pink/orange-tinted frothy head and great lacing. A pleasure to behold. Nose was very reminiscent of the kind of cherry topping typically served on top of cheesecake or cherry fruit roll ups - something I’ve never been too fond of, but admittedly, this still smelled pretty good. A bit syrupy and similar on the palate, but a bit more tart and I kept getting notes of pineapple juice as well. A tasty beer, but I’d take Raspberry Tart over it any day.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08, with thanks to Ughsmash. Pours an amber-red with no head. Huge sour cherry aroma, reminds me of cherry pie. Taste is both tart and sweet cherries. Lingering tartness. Absolutely amazing cherry beer.

Sep 28, 2008 Beautiful in the glass. Great color and aroma. Strong cherry flavor - kind of like a lambic but more for the adults. Tasty.
