Light burgundy body. Best cherry aroma ever. Just like warm cherry pie, crust and all. I spent the better part of 20 minutes just sniffing this one. Heavily sweet throughout with a light acidity in the finish. Medium body, creamy/oily texture, average carbonation. The bottom line is: (drools). edit 1/4/05: body is fuller than I originally thought and the carbonation is a bit heavier. Still smells and tastes great. Oak is much more apparent now that I have a 750 of this than it was with my original, smaller sample. I’m bumping up the flavor (9->10), palate (4->5), and overall (17->19) now that I have a larger sample. Props to ClarkVV!

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle picked up in New Glarus during Labor Day. Pours hazy amber-red with a thin slightly pinkish off white head. Significant cherry aroma with a hint of sherry. Intense taste of cherries and good carbonation but goes down smooth. Tart finish that intensifies if the beer warms up a bit. Lambic-like characteristics makes the Begian Red a good drinking beer on a warm day unless you are unfortunate enough to hate cherries.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Cole’s. Curses: WHY CAN’T I DRINK THIS MORE OFTEN? Hazy strawberry color with little head. Intense cherry pie, compacted jammy aroma. Soft but solid carbonation. Intense jammy body. Pie filling in a glass. Pounds of cherries transformed into beer by goddesses. Kick ass!!! Pleeeeease can I have more? Please?

Sep 28, 2008 Rating # 500! Cloudy garnet pour with off-white, pink/orange-tinted frothy head and great lacing. A pleasure to behold. Nose was very reminiscent of the kind of cherry topping typically served on top of cheesecake or cherry fruit roll ups - something I’ve never been too fond of, but admittedly, this still smelled pretty good. A bit syrupy and similar on the palate, but a bit more tart and I kept getting notes of pineapple juice as well. A tasty beer, but I’d take Raspberry Tart over it any day.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08, with thanks to Ughsmash. Pours an amber-red with no head. Huge sour cherry aroma, reminds me of cherry pie. Taste is both tart and sweet cherries. Lingering tartness. Absolutely amazing cherry beer.

Sep 28, 2008 Beautiful in the glass. Great color and aroma. Strong cherry flavor - kind of like a lambic but more for the adults. Tasty.
