Belgian Red
New Glarus Brewing Co.
2400 State Hwy 69
New Glarus, WI
20. Fruit Beer
Aroma: (11/12)
Beautiful tart cherry aroma. A large amount
of sweetness present, as well.
Appearance: (3/3)
Nice reddish - brown hue. Pours a nice head;
these are highly carbonated! Head does
dissipate rather quickly, but that is to be
expected.
Flavor: (19/20)
Cherries immediately upfront! The cherry
flavor lingers and then the tartness and
sweetness kick in and doesn't really
fade. Excellent!
Mouthfeel: (5/5)
Highly carbonated and amount of bubbles
is definitely evident. Body is light to
medium.
Overall Impression: (10/10)
A cherry wonder of the world! This Belgian
Red is extremely well made and is the
best American made Kriek / Lambic I've had
and from reading further, I guess everybody
else thinks the same.
TOTAL: 48/50
Mmmmm I love all New Glarus brews!!
