New Glarus Belgian Red

Bottle. Pours murky reddish-chestnut, capped with a small tan head. Aroma of tart cherries, like pie filling, with vanilla and brown sugar. The aroma also reminded me a bit of Hawaiian Punch. Beautiful tart cherry flavor, very reminiscent of pie filling, with cinnamon, spice, brown sugar, and some balsamic vinegar. This beer really stands out due to its balance between sweet and tart, with the tartness prevailing slightly. Tremendous beer.

Tasted @ the Uber Tavern in Seattle.
Brought by one of the guys at the Uber Tavern. Thnx! Interesting fruit beer. Amber, red colored brew. Lot’s of cherries in the aroma. Medium sweetness, cherries and somewhat sour flavor. Nice mouthfeel.

big bottle I shared at the Houston BA tasting. Pours a cloudy red with a thin white head. The nose reminded me of cherry-flavored cough syrup. Taste was fruity, cherry lifesavors. Mouthfeel was medium, tart and sticky with carbonation.

Big thanks to KingpinIPA for this one. Aroma and flavor is cherry pie. Tart cherry with some sweetness up front. Great balance of the sweet and the tart. Reminds me of a Hostess cherry pie. Would like more of this.

I’ve been looking forward to trying this beer for a very long time, and it didn’t disappoint. Pours a hazy reddish brown. Aroma and flavor is all sour cherry. Extremely well balanced, with a touch of sweetness that plays off the sour nicely. Good stuff.
