Please share any ideas....(super cherry fruity Belgian red)

Petrus Aged Red?

 

Lindemans Kriek? How are you so positive it wasn't New Glarus?

 

Duchesse....

or maybe something from this list will ring a bell when you read the name

but you're in Wisconsin... and in the beer world you don't hear the exact phrase "Belgian Red" very often except in the context of your state's most famous brewery. So that may be why New Glarus keeps coming up.

 

Lindemans, Boon's or St. Louis Kriek?

 

I second Luwak.. My instincts pointed toward Duchesse . but its like the entrance to hogwarts you have to believe its the same beer

 

Sickeningly sweet? Delirium Red.

 

Who cares if it wasn't New Glarus, it's all you should be drinking anyway!

 

Kasteel Rouge? Nicely cherry and quite potent.

sounds like Barbe Ruby. that was a syrupy cough medicine style Belgian red. it was sweet enough to be a dessert. made by the same brewery as Duchesse...Brouwerij Verhaeghe. it's also 7.7% ABV...almost twice what some others in this style are. i'd definitely compare the flavor to cherry soda, too.

 

when he said "cherry soda" that's the first thing that popped into my mind.

 

Probably not on tap, but Drie Fonteinen Intense Red Oude Kriek popped into my mind first.

 

Another vote for Kasteel Rouge. Very cherry and gets you bombed.

She did say 2 glasses made her tipsy. So, I doubt it's anything with low ABV.
