Bottle shared with a few buddies. Well I knew New Glarus delivers some great fruit beers, but I didn’t expect it to be this good. Fruit aroma right up front, sort of like smelling a cherry soda. Lots of apple in the flavor. Would be my absolute go to beer in the hot FL weather. Outstanding!!

New glarus does it again. Beer was great im not a wine guy , so this was my wine . aroma is great , good finish very good fruit beer.

his is easily one of the best fruit beers that I’ve ever had and one of the finest that New Glarus has ever created! This is right at the top of the list with the Belgian Red and the Raspberry Tart. I really enjoyed the combination of sweet red fruit, oak, vanilla and the slight sour character the most in Serendipity. I highly recommend and suggest going out and getting this if you’re a fan of NG fruit ales and if you live in Wisconsin or live near the border.

Great fruit beer, arguably better than the raspberry or cherry varieties from New Glarus. A nice, sour funk with a great tart fruitiness to balance it out. Josh brought this one back from WI for the winter beer tasting in Dec. 2012.

Nice fruit beer. It is sweet so share it with a couple people. Flavor of red plums and apples. Another great fruit beer from New Glarus.

Bottle. Dark cranberry colored pour, a little light lacing/carbonation and an aroma of tart cran-apple juice. Flavor a perfect meld of apples, cranberries and tart cherrries, really nice tart crisp (almost dry) finish.You really can’t do better than this when it comes to fruit beers, almost perfect.

Pours amber brown with a small light beige, almost peach colored head. Smells strongly of fruits, reminiscent of apples, cranberries, and cherries. Taste is fruity, sweet, and tart all at once; a hint of cherry up front that moves to cranberry tartness and finishes with strong apple and apple skin flavors. Light-to-medium bodied with a lightly prickly texture and fizzy mouth-carbonation, New Glarus Serendipity finishes with a soft tart dryness.

Thanks to Travlr for sharing this one. 75 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBWG 2013. Has the colour of red apples with a dash of copper. Smell is incredible, reminds me of a kind of candy I had as a kid, not sure of the name, pixie dust candy? Blended with very sweet red apples, non-tart cranberries, cherries,… Taste is the before mentioned candy, cherry juice, sweet red apples, lots of candy sweetness, zero fruit acidity, raspberries, caramel, very sweet but not sugar sweet, more candy,… Body like air… crazily good… damn. I could drink just so much of this.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Wauwatosa, WI, enjoyed at a friends place while watching football before recording. This is an exceptional fruit ale, very happy to have had this. Appearance is a dark, relatively clear dark red with very little to no head, almost like a fruit juice. Aroma is a rich, fruity amalgamation of cranberries, cherries, and apples, smells naturally sweet. Taste is rather carbonated with sweetness from the cherries and tartness from the cranberries, starts off a little tart and finishes rather dry. Not sure if its a phantom flavor, but I’m getting a chocolate flavor as well. This really is exceptional stuff and I like it more than the cherry ale. Hope they do this again, probably not likely though.

Rating #1600. Bottle courtesy of GhostFace, cheers!! Shared at the March 2013 tasting in Santa Cruz. Pours a dazzling ruby amber color with a disappearing white fizz. Explosive cherry aroma with some sharp tartness to it, immediately similar to Jolly Ranchers. Flavor is revelatory, as is the case with most NG fruit beers. An absolute barrage of concentrated fruit madness. Cherries make up the major flavor component, candy-sweet but natural-tasting, with a base of ice cider apple flesh and a perfect cranberry bite on the finish, rounding out the immense sweetness with a divine tartness. This is easily on par with Belgian Red et. al. and arguably better, due to the complexity and synergy thereof. Serendipity indeed.
