\nNew Glarus says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red
\nFruit Beer, 4% ABV
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan:<\/strong> We’ve talked once<\/a> or twice<\/a> – or maybe three<\/a> times – of our love for New Glarus’ ability to put fruit in beer and make it great.\u00a0 I’ve come across so many beers, whether they are raspberry ales, blueberry ales or cherry stouts, that are too heavy on the fruit.\u00a0 There’s no balance.\u00a0 Someone at New Glarus has figured it out.<\/p>\n

This particular offering has bounced back and forth from the cellar and the fridge.\u00a0 I’ve been wanting to try it ever since I picked it up in Wisconsin over the summer, but we’ve had other beers come along that have taken precedent.\u00a0 So, I decided to forget the other Guys and I sat down with those low ABV, oh-so-very-cherry beer the other night.\u00a0 And I was not disappointed.<\/p>\n

Poured from a green bottle with a red, waxed cap Belgian Red is a somewhat translucent burgundy in color with a billowing, but thin, white head that builds fast and fades even quicker.\u00a0 The nose is full of big, bright, juicy cherries.\u00a0 It smells fantastic.\u00a0 And it tastes just as good as it smells.\u00a0 Cherries, obviously, dominate but this beer has some additional complexities.\u00a0 The initial burst of tart cherries is followed by a general tartness, a little maltiness and then a bit of oak and vanilla.\u00a0 The carbonation is very lively as well, almost champagne-like, allowing the flavors to pelt your palate.<\/p>\n

Not only is there over a pound of cherries in each bottle but this beer has sat in oak tanks for a year.\u00a0 That explains the oak and vanilla in the finish, which becomes more pronounced as this beer warms.<\/p>\n

This is affordable and readily available north of the “Cheddar Curtain.”\u00a0 Sadly, you can’t get this beer anywhere outside of Wisconsin but it’s worth the drive to find it.\u00a0 For those of you in the Midwest, but this on your own Beer Bucket List<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
