I've been told the apple makes this feel "less special," but I do like that the musty tart-sweet of the apple neutralizes any of the hints of syrup that a beer like the Belgian Red had. Both of these were Glarus-typical barely-beers, but quite pleasant.

Definitely avoids the cough syrup-ness of the last tasting, although it does very much skirt the edge. Nicely tart up front; there's just a hint of too-sweet on the aftertaste.

Smells more tart than actually comes through in the flavor, which is a very pleasant grape/peach. Ends with some funk and is maybe too sweet, but is nice.

I mean, this is almost like drinking strawberry preserves fresh from the jar. It's so, so jammy. It's not cloying, though, I think the rhubarb halts the sweetness right at the very end into something a tiny bit funky and tart.

Definitely not drunk fresh, but this was still really good - fizzy and drying up front with a caramel sweetness, kind of like a Vienna lager crossed with a pale.

Malty, clean, just a bit of toast.

I don't know if this has turned or something? But it does have more of a metallic, hoppy resing, drying finish than I would have expected from a nut brown. It was ok, but ok at best.

Meh. I guess it's fine. Maybe it's less flavorful after the Strawberry Rhubarb. It's just a low flavor hint of apple spritzer.

Super tart strawberry. Not really a beer in any sense. It did make me headachy before I even finished. I don't know if it's because of the "beer" or some other reason.

It's kind of like an unfiltered hard apple cider. It's obviously not very much like a beer.

My first impression was that this was a bit too sour - but as I went, the sweetness and the sourness kind of balanced out. And it was a pleasant sour. In the end, surprisingly good.

Alcoholic and sweet. I don't feel like it's anything related to a normal spotted cow. It's actually really good, but in a St. Bernardus high alcohol way.

Deep, and thick, and sweet. Very very tasty.

Perfect balance of tart and fruit and… um… beer?

Also perfect for a hot summer day.

Perfect for a hot summer day.

I would expect a quad to be bolder, mustier? But this was fine to drink even if a bit unremarkable.

It certainly tastes like black currant, which is nice and unusual, but like most of these New Glarus fruit beers, is way more juice than beer. I usually have a hard time drinking intensely fruity berry juices, and this had more or less the same effect on me.

Really a tasty lager. Starts very Bohemian but finishes with a bit of hay and cereal, brackish finish. Nicely balanced. Not sweet like a Helles, but has a good body.

I dunno… seems kinda normal and standard. Not in a bad way, just not in a creative and inspiring way either…

I like this beer

Maybe it was in opposition to the Hanami but this was very much on the edge of syrupy.

Wow. That's dark and fruity. It's dark fruit, with an undertone of dryness.

I think this is good. But it is very malty.

It is sweet and tart. Quite tasty.

A bit malty and cereal-y for me…

A little too puckeringly sour, actually.

Light, effervescent, very slightly tart.

This would have been a lot better if the Bears had won.

Bitter and brackish. Also feels like it's a headache waiting to happen. I mean, it's not like I'd turn down free beer or anything . . . But I might regret it later.

Well it has character. The label says "lager" but coulda fooled me.

Well it seemed good when I first started but then the Blandness just takes over and in the end it's just meh

Amber in color, Amber . . . In . . . Flavor? I never know how to describe country lagers/ales. There's a certain commonality with two brother's Domaine Du Page. But this is lighter, and probably a bit less flavorful. Honestly, I like it best in a mix with Totally Naked.

Drinking a beer, Totally Naked, what's not to like! More seriously, light, refreshing, not a lot more to it. It's like a really really light (in bitterness) Czech pilsner. Honestly, better if you pour it between Two Women.

This actually tastes somewhat like an American pilsner, clean, not too bitter, with a beery efforvescence. After a while, I start to notice the yeasty flavors of a Belgian, +which I don't remember from previously) which them comes to completely dominate the flavor profile.

This is drinkable, light, but not very notable. Crisp. The description is right in that it is mellow and without bitterness, but it is also without much character. Would be easy to chug a 6 pack, if that's what you were going for.

A straight, crisp lager in the American style but with plenty of flavor. Grassy, clean bitterness. Very refreshing.

Slightly rooty sweetness, slightly herbal bitterness, but otherwise clean lager with some fruit notes. Really nice.

Tastes like a very dry Belgian pale; yeasty with esters that are stopped short by non-sweetness. It's a chewy-yet-light sort of beer. Not exactly refreshing, but pretty tasty.

Raising a glass of my favorite to the return of Maltlog.

A light, spicy hefeweizen.

Sour, very efforvescent. Dark cherries and funk.

Yup, tastes like an IPA. Edit: actually, on further drinking, there are some oddly sweet undertones to the flavor. I don't know what it is.

It's more like a sweet, slightly cidery drink than a beer.

A lovely Midwestern end to my Seattle trip.

Very light hazy yellow color, a lot of white head. Hint of bitter flower on the nose. Mild, bitter lemon rind taste. This would be a wonderful replacement for a mass market light beer. But not otherwise all that interesting.

It is sweet. But it also is a beer. So I don't feel bad liking this.

Somewhat sweet stout. Bitter, a little bit of that European dark unpleasantness flavor. The one their soda-like beers have. So not the best. On the other hand, I may be thousands of milliliters in, so you can't necessarily trust my judgement.

I'm less prejudiced against the whole "barely a beer" crowd these days, although this is still - it's not tart or funky enough to be a sour, it's not even dry enough to be a cider. It's very much a fruit confection of a beer. But... it's really tasty, like a cross between a Martinelli's and a really, really light wheat beer.

This is still simply terrible. Half went down the drain, and that was really working at it.

It has an odd tarty fruitiness, and an almost bubblegum flavor. It's not bad per-se, but I wouldn't buy it again. Actually, I couldn't finish the bottle. So I've lowered the rating.

Well today this didn't blow my socks off but it's still tasty.

Today i liked this better than the serendipity but any given day they could go either way

Sweet sparkling raspberry juice. Raspberries aren't my favorite fruit by any measure, but this... was perfectly decent for a party drink.

My least favorite of the fruity sours from ng... Still

Doesn't taste very stouty, though it does has the milk sugar flavor. It's more like someone accidentally took a central european ale, thinking it was a stout, and then put it through the milk processes.

Extremely tasty. Nice fruitiness and sourness.

Ahhhhh

"I was wondering if you have anything in the way of a dessert burrito?"

Wait two naked women? Oh wait I'm getting beer names mashed up...

Probably should have tasted this before the coffee stout, oh well. Still seemed solid.

It's not a cider. It's a beer. But tastes like apples. Which creates a cognitive dissonance that may be worth it just for that. But I'm not sure exactly how I'd feel about this on a second tasting...

I mean yeah i guess i can see why it's their most popular beer but it just seems kinda middle of the road nothing special to me. I'd have been annoyed if I'd driven three hours just for this. Fortunately there are other beers here.

Usually these coffee stouts are too coffeeey but this one balances the coffee and the stout well.

Surprisingly juicy, like an IPA. Actually pretty decent

It's a fine, kind of normal beer

Clean with a slightly puckering bitterness.

This was great .though only if you enjoy sweet fruit beers.

Les thick than I'd expect, but certainly stout and coffee

A nice Brown, slightly less meaty thani would normally expect with a flavor I might liken typo apricot .

Caramel, with mildly bitter hop notes. Kind of boring, although it might have been stale for how long it had been sitting in the refrigerator.

I don't actually like beer aftertaste so maybe this was a given...but I liked the fruitiness before it got icky

Very fruity, I think I liked it, but I wouln't drink too much of it.

Has the taste of a sparkling apple cider with a slight hint of cranberry tartness. Like the Belgian Red, it's really hard to tell this is a beer or even alcoholic, but unlike that one, this is maybe a little too sweet. It took a long time to clear the taste out of my mouth.

Builds tartness over time but goos taste

Tastes great but would not drink as a beer. Strong cherry and chocolate taste.

High rating because this may be the tastiest sparkling fruit juice I've ever had. Blind, you'd be hard pressed to identify this as a beer, or even alcoholic. Tart, strong cherry flavor is the key, and it's very good.

Good as a sparkling fruit juice. Hard to tell it is a beer.

I'll admit, this is only barely a beer. It is completely fruit. Nonetheless it was my entry point and you gotta stand by the one you came with.

Forty pounds of cherries in each sip.

Lovely fruit, just a hint of sour. I think this might actually be better than the Belgian Red.

A Madison standby. A bit more complex than standard American beers, but still brewed so as not to offend.
