NG Serendipity or Strawberry Rhubarb?

Serendipity is good, but I like the Wisconsin Belgian Red even better. Will be drinking the Strawberry Rhubarb later this evening. Cheers!

 

Serendipity is better balanced between sweet and tart. Strawberry rhubarb is a bit cloying but still very good.

 

Serendipity replaced Belgian Red last year after the Wisconsin cherry crop was essentially wiped out in the Spring of 2012. It sounds like Belgian Red should be back later this year.

 

I like the strawberry more since serendipity was just to sweet for my tastes

 

Ironically, I received a bottle of each last night. I have yet to try them, but I'm excited to see what all of the fuss is about. Sounds like they are right up my ally.

 

In my experience, Belgian Red has annihilated all other New Glarus fruit beers to-date. I thought Serendipity was especially disappointing given the incredibly high scores it was receiving. It just didn't do it for me. I just got a bottle of the Strawberry Rhubarb and will report back once it's consumed.

 

cran-bic....wait, was that an option?

 

Serendipity would be my first pick. I was recovering from a cough when I tried the Strawberry Rhubarb and I think the tartness was somewhat abrasive. I need to give it another try though.

 

The answer is go find Raspberry Tart.

I'll make my list of the four fruit beers because it's bound to happen anyway.

1) Raspberry Tart
2) Belgian Red
3) Strawberry Rhubarb
4) Serendipity

 

Where are you from?

 

I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the fruit beers flow like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Wisconsin.

 

*looks out window*

I must be in the other Wisconsin

 

For me:

1. Belgian Red
2. Serendipity
3. Raspberry Tart
4. Strawberry Rhubarb

But they are all *very* close, and I could probably have them in a different order tomorrow, based on which way the wind is blowing. Pretty sure Belgian Red will always be #1 though.

 

Wisconsin is my third favorite state after Michigan and Minnesota. Good times, real people, and the best, the best, fruit beers.

 

New Glarus really doesn't know how to make a bad fruit beer. All four of their 750s are delicious. I will say, however, that I agree with a description from jjheinrichs that the Strawberry Rhubarb is the "Ringo" of the NG fruit beers. Take that as you will

 

Does anyone know if Serendipity is getting the gate once Belgian Red comes back?

 

I thought Raspberry Tart was done
