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.

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.

Bottle. Pours with a almost rose like color like a rose champagne. Very little foam. Great aromas of cherry fruit. The flavors are spectacular, with really tart cherries, a bit of lemon, some woodsiness and some great effervescence. Even a bit of malt comes through, but very faint. Very nice on the palate and very refreshing. No real sourness which is a plus for me. Exceeded all expectations, cannot wait to try the Raspberry tart.

Holy fucking cherries! Wow, tart, sour, and yummy. Good stuff here. If beer was a candy this would be it. No head, lively carbonation brings a refreshing taste. Bottle says a marriage of beer and wine. Yes, I agree. Great beer.

Bottle. Pours murky red brown with a beige head. Sweet aroma of tart cherries, cider, and light oak impressions. Nice cherry flavor, a touch of tartness provides a perfect balance to the light sweetness. Low hoppy bitterness rounds it out nicely. Extremely drinkable. I expected this to be way to sweet for my tastes, but I was happily mistaken. Very good.

AWESOME beer. Thanks to JCB for sending this one my way. We popped it before heading to Wisconsin, and Im glad we did, because we liked it enough to stock up while we were there! Aroma is all sweet and sour cherry. No medicine or acidicness in the aroma at all. Flavor is much the same. Cherries, cherries, and more cherries. I dont see how a beer so dominated by cherries could be complex, but this one man ages it. Hint of hops and wood, and a touch of grains. This is an amazing beer, thanks again JCB!
