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.

Foggy and dark ruby-red. Sweet, maraschino cherry nose. Soft, mildly carbonated, and sugary texture. I smelled cherries, but I tasted dried apricots all over the place, lingering long in the cheeks. Sweet malts (cake) and a very, very mild bitterness. Hint of tartness ... and even a touch of a cinnamon-like aroma. Overall, somewhat reminiscent of Transatlantique, but New Glarus is sweeter and heavier. Other than being just a little too sweet, it's a really fine beer.

GABF 2002: Awseome tart cherry aroma, smells like a fresh cherry pie! Reddish-ornage colour with a pink head. Nice cherry flavour without being too sweet. Very nice!!

Has the brazen fruit character of Lindeman’s framboise, and the brown ale backdrop of Leifman’s. Tremendous.

Red brown color with a high tan head. Definately cherry and almond aromas. Cherries again in the flavor along with a malt texture. Slight iron and acid in the finish. A classic in this style.

Reddish brown. Sweet, full bodied, fresh aroma of sourish cherries, complex. Extremely tasty!

Big cherry aroma, hazy reddish colour, with a large pink head, plenty of lace. As true a cherry flavour a beer could have! Tart, acidic, wonderfully dry finish, yet very refreshing. Delicious, Sensational!

ReRate-This is one of the first beers that we sampled, so i thought i would give it a proper rating. This is one of my fav beers. This beer pours a deep garnet red with lots of hazyness. Nice pink head lasts for a while. Aroma is ripe cherries, oak and other woods. The flavor is mostly cherries and the oak aging can be detected, but is int over bearing. Very vineous and sour, but definatly desirable. The palate is sprizy and fizzy but very round and full. AWESOME brew!

Opaque red-brown-orange color. Cherry taste is near perfect, not too tart and not too sweet (hey- that’s a lemonade commercial!) The nose is more of the little bar cherries that garnish drinks, like Drew says, maraschino. (we sampled this at the same time). Carbonated, and the wonderful "cherriness" of this brew is not too much.
