New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red

Pours a ruby body with a small pinkish head that leaves minimal wispy lace. Aroma of fresh cherries and a hint of caramel. Taste is fresh cherries, tart and sweet. A hint of caramel underneath. A bit of oak emerges as it warms. Clean and smooth, nothing cloying or artificial here. Amazing that a fruit beer could be so tasty and well crafted.

Pours ruby red with a small, quickly dissapating head. I love smelling this beer and the sweet and tart cherry smell. The taste is pretty much the same, with a little grain in the background to balance it out. It’s never cloying, and the cherries just linger on the tongue and the back of the throat. It’s like drinking dessert, but the perfect balance means you won’t get sick of it after a small glass. There’s a pleasant, fizzy carbonation--just enough to tickle the mouth a bit.

Traded bottle. This could easily be liquid crack and become habit forming. Cloudy brown pour with a small offwhite head and sheets of lacing. Aroma picks up both sweet and sour from the cherries which is also true for the flavour. Only knock is that maybe the cerries over power the grain and hops a little. Still a tremendous beer.

Sampled at bockyhorsey’s tasting. Pours a bright pink/red with minimal snow white head. Aroma is of cherry cotton candy and warheads. Taste is a very clean cherry with some light sourness. Very beautiful balance; nowhere near as sour as I had been expecting. Very refreshing, yet complex.

I was amazed by this beer. The color was a nice dark reddish color, the flavor had an amazing "REAL" cherry flavor not the syrup like candy cherry flavor. I was really stunned how good this is and I will definitely buy again.

Thanks to Kingpin IPA for this awsome beer. I have to say that this was an absolutely awsome beer. Enoyed this with my Dad. I loved the tartness of the cherries and the carbination was nice too.

This is a fruity beer so it has a nice aroma and appearance. I do enjoy this but my stomach wouldn’t have it when I drank it. The carbonation with the fruit had a strange impact on me, but it had a great taste, and I will try it again.

Bottle. Pour was dark red, almost brown with a little (but continuing) carbonation. Aroma was of dark cherry and pleasant sourness. Flavor was initially sweet black cherries, then mellowed into sourness. Finish was perfect, no funk or notice of any off flavors. A well done New Glarus offering.
