Commercial Description:
Belgian Red is a tapestry of flavor. This beer is brewed with whole Montmorency Cherries, Wisconsin farmed wheat and Belgian roasted barleys, lagered in oak tanks and balanced by Hallertau hops we aged in our brewery one full year. Over a pound of Door County Cherries in every bottle makes this beer uniquely “Wisconsin.” So unique, in fact, that we applied for a patent. Expect this beer to be ruby red, with a medium body that is highly carbonated and intense with cherry flavor and bouquet.

Pours a medium red with a light white head. Aroma is strong with cherries. I was just in Door county last weekend and they are well known for their cherries. This beer is filled with them and has a beautifully strong taste of them. The flavor is residual for a few minutes. This beer goes very well with a small meal. Highly recommend.

750ml bottle. Cherries, cherries everywhere. Beautiful dark hazy red pour with a pink head. Aroma is strongly cherries. Taste is sour cherries. A little bit of the pit in there. Amazing beer. This is the beer you give to someone who doesn’t like beer.

Bottle. Hazy dark red color with brownish head. Sour/sweet cherry aroma very strong. Sweet cherry, earthy, slightlytart, very nice. Medium bodied, slightly syrupy. Very much in the belgian tradition but so distinct at the same time. Once again, I like raspberry tart better.

bottle.....aroma: sweet, tart and a big burst of cherries coming through the nose....appearance: resembling apple juice only a little bit darker. a slight existence of head but really almost non noticeable....taste: sweet, sour tart cherries, sugary but not off-putting......excellent excellent fruit beer as others have attested to. i’m in total agreement.

I love this brew. Had a five year old and a new to compare. The sour really come out in the new one. The aged one mellowed quite a but but the body was amazing. Still sour but an oak malt sour not just from the cherries. Beautiful red color with some light bubbles for the new one but the aged version had darkened and now has more of an unfiltered look. Still delicious anytime.

Thanks to boboski for opening this brew. Pours a clear blood red with white head. Smells like sugar soaked sweet cherries simmering over the stove. Wow! Awesome aroma. Freshly picked perfectly ripe cherries. The flavor starts with hints of tartness and sour yeast that quickly get consumed by sweet and tart ripe cherries fresh from the cherry tree. It gets sweeter and sweeter and richer and richer before some sourness comes back into play. Great tasting brew. Wow! Thanks Jason.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of sour cherries. Poured reddish brown in color with a small tan head that diminished quickly. Very hazy. Flavor is medium to heavily sour. Tastes of sour cherries. Like a cherry soda. Very nice. Medium body. Slightly sticky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sour cherry finish.
