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.

Bottle courtesy of mrfacto. Pours a hazy reddish brown with a foamy white head. Aroma of cherry, cherry, cherry , yeast, sugars and did I mention cherry. Seriously, this beer is awesome smelling. Flavor is cherry, yeast, tartness, sweetness. Best fruit beer i’ve ever had.

Bottle thanks to nflmvp, thanks Steve! Aroma of cherries, dark ripe fruits, and belgian yeast. Deep burgundy red, almost purple hue with a smaller off-white head that almost fully diminished and left no lace. Flavor is sticky sweet with cherries, dark ripe fruit, musty yeast, and roast malt. A little bitter and earthy on the finish. Palate is medium bodied and oily soft. Quite refreshing and crisp. A very good brew that’s refreshing and intense. Good mouth feel and sticky sweet cherry flavor. Top notch.

Bottle from Ebay purchase shared with Stegosaurus. Slightly cloudy red pour with a tart fruit aroma. Definetly had a sour cherry flavor with an alcohol bite. I am not a fan of this style but it’s good for what it is.

Very sweet. Has dryness/tartness to cancel it a bit, but not enough. The Rasp Tart is more balanced. The oak and yeast character come out more in this compared to the Rasp Tart. Highly carbonated but they’re fine bubbles so they don’t assault one’s palate.

Pours ruby red with a dissipating bubbly head. Smells like a bowl full of cherries. It tastes like a cherry coke. I want to not like this because it’s not like any beer I’ve had, but it’s just so delicious that I can’t actually dislike it. It’s sweet and tart and dry and well-carbonated. It’s just a good beer all around. Kudos, New Glarus.

Bottle shared with Casey, Tracey and Loz at a great American beer tasting evening 11-04-08 hosted by Casey and Tracey, cheers mate! Slightly sour cherry milkshake type aroma with good yoghurt like qualities, really interesting. There is the most delicious flavour to this, I had this vision of Oompah Loompah’s loading bucket after bucket of wonderful fresh ripe cherries into the cask whilst singing a merry little ditty, that’s the thing about this beer it certainly takes you off elsewhere with every sip. A wonderfully sharp but sweet, fruity but soft chocolatey taste to this beer I loved it, many thanks to Casey for sharing this classy beer.

Bottle. Jelly-donut aroma, which works a bit moreso with cherries than the raspberry tart. Copper colored, not bright red. Sour and sweet notes play against each other, but at times make it a bit reminiscent of a sour cherry candy, which is a bit offputting.
