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.

Enjoyed on New Years Eve ’08. Pour is a funky red with an aroma full of cherry and rhubarb. Very sweet. Flavor is much the same. This is very fizzy with a soda pop feel. Nice, though. This is one I had heard so much about that the hype was bigger than the beer.

Tasted thanks to Ken, and a bottle thanks to Daknole. Pours a hazy ornage/red in color with a decent but quickly diminishing head. Aromas fresh sweet juicy cherries, and some yeast. Flavor was nothing short of amazing, Tart, slightly sour, yet sweet cherries. I only had a couple ounces for my first taste and I savored every drop. Thanks to Daknole I know have a bottle of my own to savor at another time. CANDY!

Pours a unclear murky dusty burnt faded red with a thick creamy light red froth on top, looks delicious. Aroma of very juicy cherries, similar to black cherries, simple yet fresh and enticing. First taste is acidic followed immediately by tart and ever so juicy sour cherries, this stuff is sooo tasty Im trying to gulp it. It really tastes like a cherry capri sun and the yeast adds that pie crust like effect. Long acidic finish. The body is excellent and very appropriate, not sticky nor syrupy, just enough consistency, more of a blend between soda and juice. ooo haha this might be one of the only beers Ill ever drink cold.

Big bottle from josh. Murkey red in color with a pink tint. Decent head. Aroma of sweet and tart cherries. Wow, taste just like cherry pie. Not overly sweet though. Nice body to it, not to much or little carbonation. Great dessert beer. Thanks again josh for an awesome beer!

Aroma is a bright tart cherry scent. Color is a deep red with mellow carbonation and a thin pink head. It starts with a lighter medium body that goes down smooth. Finish is like drinking a cherry turnover, it has a bold fresh cherry taste with a sweet pastry and yeast like flavor. After taste follows this leaving you feeling like you just had some cheery pie. This is an amazing brew, its a true dessert beer.
