New Glarus Raspberry Tart

Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

Poured a dark red color with a small off white head. Aroma was sweet/sour raspberries and thats it. Flavor was much te same, all raspberries, but natural taste, not artificial. Tastes like Raspberry Tootsie ops without the chocolate. Very good and just below the Belgian Red.

Bottle poured to flute. Pours opaque ridish/purple and small white head. Strong aroma of sweet berrys. Barely any hops or malts in the aroma or flavor profile. Very berry. Tingly and acidic on sides of the tounge. Very pleasant berry taste: not fake or overly sweet. Just a splendid drink to share with a loved one.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy to murky red with a pink head. Aroma is dense raspberry fruity and mild sulphorish. Sweet and slight herbal raspberry fruity note. Sticky sweet and linger fruity finish.

Poured from a wax-topped 750ml bottle and served in a shaker. This beer poured a muddy, raspberry puree burgandy with a quickly fading pink head. No lace. Almost looked like raspberry concentrate. The aroma of the beer was made up of sugar and fresh raspberries. Huge...the aroma filled the air around the glass. The flavor consisted of fresh raspberries macerated in sugar. Wow. Hard to believe this is beer! The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and surprisingly refreshing and drinkable for something this sweet. The carbonation was moderate. Equal in quality to the Belgian Red, it’s just a matter of which fruit you happen to prefer. I’ll take the Raspberry.

On tap pours red with a thin white head. The aroma on this beer was amazing. Exploding raspberries was what I got every time I smelled it. And I took a smell each time I drank. It was wonderful. Had a medium mouthfeel with a lot of tiny carbonation bubbles. The taste of this is very subtle, yet complex. High raspberry flavor throughout and is very sweet. I could enjoy this with a nice flourless chocolate cake for dessert and be the happiest person on the planet. This is a great brew.

Pours a beautiful murky raspberry red with a bubbly pink head that lingers for a little while and leaves some sporadic lacing. I imagine this would be what unfiltered raspberry or cranberry juice looks like. Wow! wonderful smell on this one as sweet raspberries are the dominant aroma with a hint of tartness as well, possibly from some cherries. Taste follows the aroma with the obvious raspberry dominance and hint more tartness than in the aroma up front. There are hints of "beer" flavors in there with some wheat if you really look hard, but it’s really all about the raspberries here. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with big carbonation that tickles your tongue with the raspberry tartness and then sticks the sweetness on the palate in the finish. Much like the Belgian Red, the sweetness is such that drinking this whole bottle is a pretty good feat. It’s a wonderful beer and New Glarus has shown the ability to nail this style.

Not much to describe about this beer... except... its raspberries... pure raspberry aroma .... and pure raspberry flavor with a hint of acidity in the finish. Pours a murky purple/red with a nice pink head. Love the raspberry seeds floating around everywhere. Extremely drinkable for something that looks thick like syrup, however you get none of that. I would love to have seen them go bigger than 4% though, the flavors could hold for sure.

Super dark red with pinkish-grey head. Foamy, extremely heady and thick aroma, bit of salt up front and acidity in the middle. Thick body. You’d expect something this tart to hurt your teeth, but it’s definitely drinkable and beer-like. Wonderful.
