You hold the marriage of wine and beer. 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. Serve your friends Belgian Red in a brandy snifter or champagne flute and toast life with beer from the land of Wisconsin.

I have to agree on the "girly beer" comment, but this is the most unique beer experience I've had in a while. I suppose the closest beer to compare it to would be quelque chose, but this beer is a bit more "extreme." It smells and tastes like they made those sour cherry gummy candies into a beer. This beer has a lot of fizz, which works with the sour aspects of the beer to get the salivary glands working, which in turn causes you to pick up the intense, sweet cherry flavor that is hiding behind the sourness. All of the elements of the beer encourage slow sipping, so I think it should have a higher alcohol content, but that's my only complaint. If you are looking for something new and different, this is the place to go.
