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.

Cherries. Amazing! Pours dark thick red with little head around the edges. A little lacing. I get malts and tons of cherries. Good stuff.

Wow, i am impressed. this beer is wonderful. possibly the best fruit beer i have ever tasted. You can taste apple pie all over your palate. the cherries, the crust, the cinnimon, slight bits of vanilla,and carmel. Just amazing! Perfectly balanced; sweet and tart.

Murky reddish-orange with a thin off-white head. Aroma of fresh cherries. Taste of fresh cherries and sweet malt with a sweet and tart finish (but not as tart as their raspberry tart beer). Pretty much everything advertised by everyone else’s write-ups on here. Good stuff!

Bottle. Another awesome fruit beer from new glarus. Probably my favorite sweet fruit beer and even though i like the raspberry a little more side by side. Red body pink head loads of sweet cherries this is just AWESOME.

murky red pour with a thin off white head. cherries and a slight tartness on the nose. very smooth cherry flavor that is quite refreshing. a brief tartness kicks in at the finish but overall this is damn tasty.

Wow. Beautiful red color. Highly carbonated, smells and tastes just like cherry pie- seriously. it really does. It’s like the best cherry soda you ever tasted with an alcohol content to boot.

Pours a murky reddish brown in color. No head from the pour or anything. I could smell this beer as soon as I popped the top on it. Wonderful tart cherries in the smell.
Every now and again you come across a beer that is just a joy to drink. A very pleasant experience. This is one of them. Doesn’t need to be "tricked" out with a high ABV or uber-hopped, etc. This is just a simple, straight forward, very well done beer. Enjoyable to the last drop.
Taste is tart, fresh, juicy cherries. Not a whole lot of carbonation, but I prefer it that way. Surprisingly non-cloying and doesn’t get old or tiring to drink. Very enjoyable beer.

Shared with my wife and great friends. Pours a watery red and has a thin white head. Aroma is big sweet cherry, but very fresh and not sugary or syrupy. Just a very fresh cherry aroma. Taste has both a little of sweet and tart cherry. Nicely carbonated, a very nice balance of not too smooth and syrupy nor champagne like. Does not get cloyingly sweet either. Would make a wonderful after dinner drink, just delightful.
