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.

Cloudy red color, pretty light giving it some orange hues. Small head. Aroma is a solid, strong cherry with some rich malts. Ripe cherries, balanced sweetness and a good round mouthfeel. Very clean and balanced. Not overly complex. Great beer.

750ml bottle. Hazy reddish ruby hue. Sparse head. Sweet and tart cherry nose. Touch of a biscuit malt aroma. Full and smooth. A total fruit bomb! Tasty and complex. The flavors from the cherries balance between tart and sweet. Malty grainy smoothness. Great beer!

I think I got some overripe cherries in mine, because it tasted, well, like an overripe sweet cherry. Lindeman's Kriek was waaay better.

This was one amazing beer. I spun the wheel of beer and scored this beaut twice at the Pizza Port Belgian fest. A beautiful red color graced my presence. Had an aroma of sweet cherries. Tasted like a liquid equivalent to a sour cherry ball. An amazing tasting brew.

Sampled at the Great Taste of the Midwest. Bountiful cherry aroma. Average sized head that disappates almost fully. V8/tomato juice appearance. Whoa! Very sweet and cloying flavor. Overly carbonated. Although this is obviously a quality beverage it is more of an alcopop than a beer and I'm frankly glad I didn't spend the good money it requires to buy one in a store!

As soon as I opened the bottle, the rich aroma of cherry pie begins to fill the kitchen. Sweet cherry pie! The nose is backed up by a solid blend of sweet and tart cherry with a little malt. Fruit dominates this beer. Thanks to badbeer for this excellent brew!

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.

interesting bright red color, sweet instead of sour cherry aroma, no sediment, nutmeg, woodyness, medium carbonation and light medium body, would this be good mulled?
