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.

Thank you Jeremy (jgb9348) for this huge surprise!! Cloudy orange color with a lingering, yet small. Nice fruity aroma. What a taste. Great balance between sweetness and bitter/tartness. Cherries, among other fruits. Such a great taste. Doesn't kick you in the palate either, which is quite impressive. A very well made brew.

Bam! The aroma is sooo right. Often aroma is appealing from complexity - not here. This aroma is appealing because it is so fresh and true in character. The appearance is as expected, completed by a carrot top. Flavor is equally tart and fruit sweet (not sugar sweet). No notes of oak detected. Finish was surprisingly warm, with decent hopping. Of course, this is a beer worth seeking.

Bottle (thanks to Ofortuna). Sour milk, tart cherry aroma with light hint of barnyard. Cloudy red-orange-brown with small head. Sweet and sour cherry with a hint of mulling spices - similar to the sweet fruit lambics. Slightly dry acidic finish. A true work of art - phenomenal fruit beer.

Dark ruby red with a light white skim of a head. Aroma is sweet cherries and cranberrys. Flavor is sweet and candylike, slightly tart. Lip smaking good. Very Very good and a nice change of pace...good shit!

Pours a deep hazy ruby red with an average off white creamy head that left some lacing. Aroma was all cherry...hopdog put it right - cherry pie. Also picking up some tart cherry, but pretty much cherry pie, crust and all. Flavor pretty much matched the aroma to the T. I don’t have many words for this beer. But this one just blew me away.

Multi red/purple/brown topped by an insignificant off white layer of bubbles. Huge fresh cherries - sweet and tart, cherry tree leaves, cinnamon/nutmeg/brown sugar like spice, wood, cherry pie, fruit roll up. Medium, balanced body. Easily the best non sour fruit beer I’ve had.

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!
