Wisconsin Belgian Red
(has 4 batches)

[i] [b] Bottle shared with Casey, Tracey and Loz at a great American beer tasting evening 11-04-08 hosted by Casey and Tracey, cheers mate! [/i] [/b] Slightly sour cherry milkshake type aroma with good yoghurt like qualities, really interesting. There is the most delicious flavour to this, I had this vision of Oompah Loompah’s loading bucket after bucket of wonderful fresh ripe cherries into the cask whilst singing a merry little ditty, that’s the thing about this beer it certainly takes you off elsewhere with every sip. A wonderfully sharp but sweet, fruity but soft chocolatey taste to this beer I loved it, many thanks to Casey for sharing this classy beer.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy reddish color with a small fast disappearing off-white head. Has a fruity and a little tart cherry aroma with almondy nutty hints. Smooth deep and slightly tart cherry flavor with lots of the flavor comming from the cherry pits, giving it a nice nutty flavor. Has a slightly sweetish malty cherry finish. with a long aftertaste of cherrry pits. A very nice one.

Bottle courtesy of Ughsmash. Poured into a flute. Cherry red with a medium and fast dissipating head. Aroma is strong candied cherry with a background of yeast. As others have said, this is like drinking a cherry pie. Flavor is intense. Definitely a sipping beer. Very nice.

Sourness hits me straight on. Sour cherry with a dry, wood-like quality.

Bouteille 750ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur rubis-rouge et voilée. Nez très fruité aux notes aigres (cerises, cerises aux marasquin, notes de raisins et de canneberges) avec des notes boisées (fût de chêne) et épicées (cannelle). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et croustillant ainsi qu’une texture sirupeuse fruitée et aux petites notes crémeuses. Goût moyennement aigre de fruits (cerises rouges, notes de canneberges et de cerises sûres, traces de raisins rouges) avec de petites notes de levures sauvages lors de l’entrée en bouche et qui progresse par la suite vers un goût fruité légèrement plus sucré (auquel se rajoute des des notes de cerises au marasquin et des traces de cannelle) avec une très faible présence de goût de pain puis en finale l’on rebascule vers un goût légèrement plus aigre avec de petites notes asséchantes ainsi que des notes boisées (fût de chêne) et de houblon herbeux. Post-goût long aux notes sèches, aigre de fruits (moût de cerises avec traces de canneberges) avec des notes de fût de chêne ainsi que de faibles notes amères provenant du houblon.

I was so pumped to try this, I had it in the cellar less than a day before I gave myself an excuse to open this gem. Pours a translucent, nearly opaque, deep ruby color with a foamy white head that quickly disappears. Aroma is of sour fruits, sugar, candy, life savers. Flavor is all tart fruit, rasberry, cherry, sweet, sour, lemon. My only complaint would be that I expected more beer flavor, more malt please? Also, the Hallertau hops are tough to notice until the very end when you get some hop bitterness around the mouth. Finish is great, goes down very easy and it’s smooth. This beer is clearly about the fruit, but the cherries aren’t so sweet you feel like you’re drinking KoolAid. The fruit is subtle, as subtle as you can get from a fruit beer. Great beer, so unique but also very drinkable. Too bad I had to have a friend pack it in their suitcase and fly it back from Wisconsin to DC for me.

Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting: Poured a ruby red with a white head. The aroma was sweet fresh cherries and fruit. The taste is amazing seemed as if I was biting into a fresh cherries with those juices slashing on my palate. The finish had just enough bitterness to keep it balanced for me. Couldn’t choose a better beer to rate for 1000 or a better event to do it!

Thanks to boboski for opening this brew. Pours a clear blood red with white head. Smells like sugar soaked sweet cherries simmering over the stove. Wow! Awesome aroma. Freshly picked perfectly ripe cherries. The flavor starts with hints of tartness and sour yeast that quickly get consumed by sweet and tart ripe cherries fresh from the cherry tree. It gets sweeter and sweeter and richer and richer before some sourness comes back into play. Great tasting brew. Wow! Thanks Jason.
