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.

Bartered Bottle from Hophead22 . Poured a murky copper reddish color with smal head. Aroma was amazing with sweet tart cherries, cinnamon almost like a cherry pie or cherry sucker. Taste was very smooth and sweet with nice tartness. Dry finish with low carbonation. Overall really really good. This one shocked me. Thanks Tim.

Bottle shared by JoeTheYounger. Pours a cloudy dark red with a pinkish white head. Aroma is like dessert with a load of black cherries and a touch of cinnamon. Something almost between cherry pie and a cherry sucker. Flavor is again dominated by cherries, slightly tart, with a bit of spice. Medium to full bodied with very creamy carbonation and a surprisingly dry finish. Awesome stuff.

Pours reddish purple/pink with a pink head. The aroma is super fruity with mostly cherries, cranberries and such. The flavor is full on canned cherry pie filling. Sweet and sour with maybe a touch of oak. Very full bodied, almost syrupy. This would go well with certain meals, but I guess I just don’t get this beer. Definitely unique.

Pours a bright read into the glass with a red tinged head. Aroma is sour cherry with a bit of malt sweetness coming through. Flavor is slightly tart but mainly sweet cherry flavor. Like the raspberry tart, this beer has changed my outlook on fruit beer!

bottle, pours hazy ruby red with a medium light tan head. HUGE cherry aroma with 7up and thin apple notes. Really nice sweet cherry and pale malts end tart again with cherry skin and maybe a little apple. This is so drinkable it’s not even funny. Tastes like a really good juice.

Big cherry aroma. Flavor is maraschino cherries, just a little tart to keep it from being overly sweet. A little oak and a little malt, but really a very simple flavor profile. Tasty.

750ml bottle. Pours a muddy red-brown with a small wispy head that leaves some lacing.

The aroma is sweet cherries, slightly tart with some wood.

The flavor is sweet yet tart cherries and wood with a dry slightly sweet finish. The mouthfeel is full and smooth with velvety carbonation.

Overall, it’s kind of one-dimensional (cherry!), but I liked this a lot.

Deep red pour with a small head. Strong cherry pie aroma. An amazing tart cherry flavor. Doesn’t taste like beer, but is still delicious, just like all of New Glarus’s fruit beers. I always pick up a couple bottles when I’m in Wisconsin.

Bottle. Poured amber purple in color with a small ring of bubbles. Aroma is sweet cherry, pixy sticks, lightly earthy. Tastes is fairly tart, tons of cherries and cherry pie filling, oak, and finishes fairly dry. I’ve had this a few times and have never been left down. Very nice.
