Strawberry Rhubarb

Strawberry Rhubarb

Not a beer that I would normally go for or buy, but given New Glarus's 25+ year record of excellent fruit beers, this deserves at least one 4-pack of attention. Paid around $11 for 4, 330 mL cans in Madison, WI. Color is an extraordinary, raspberry...

Smoked Rye Ale (Unplugged Series)

Smoked Rye Ale (Unplugged Series)

12 oz bottle, over 12 months old, with the usual New Glarus, Unplugged presentation with red foil on the neck, plus the neck label. Deep, dark pour, surprisingly dark in fact with real mahogany look to the beer. Tremendous smoke on the nose, really...

Moon Man No Coast Pale Ale

Moon Man No Coast Pale Ale

Disappointingly (but predictably), the label refers to this being a 'session beer', which at 5% it most definitely is NOT. Hazed and cloudy body with a pale white, half finger head. Nose and tastes have some significant hop character, and if this...

Uff-da Bock

Uff-da Bock

12 oz bottle form Kevin - thanks, man! Dark chestnut pour, quite close to black. BIG, ice-cream like, creamy head that has some super retention and some exquisite lace. The appearance may be the best part of this beer, and by quite some distance....

Fat Squirrel Ale

Fat Squirrel Ale

12 oz single, thanks to Kevin for the chance to try this one. Always delighted to try a New Glarus beer, and this is no exception. Pour provides a body that is quite clear and has a reddish-copper pour with a somewhat small head. Not much retention...

Fat Squirrel Ale

Totally Naked

12 oz single, many thanks go out to Kevin for the chance to try this beer. Pour is a well carbonated, totally clear light straw color with a huge, fluffy and sticky head. Lace is pretty good too. Color is a little light, but otherwise looks pretty...

Spotted Cow

Spotted Cow

Pictured added from 09/23/23 Original notes 10/20/10 12oz single, large thanks go out to Kevin for this one. Golden, slightly hazed body with a nicely formed tight head. Retention and lace don't add up to much but there is some froth left on the...

Stone Soup

12 oz single, thanks go out to Kevin for the opportunity. Pour is a bright, honey orange affair with a large, but somewhat light and thinnish head. The head is not especially well retained and there is little lace, both of which seem to be a...

Crack’d Wheat

Crack’d Wheat

12 oz single, courtesy of Kevin - many thanks. Absolutely delighted to get a chance to try this beer. It promises much. The pour is a lovely, butterscotch hazed affair with a nice, rocky head. Good looking beer without doubt. The nose and tastes...

Unplugged Belgian Quadruple

Lucked upon this at the Brick Stone on a Friday afternoon; thanks to Dave and some other (nameless) benefactor. 12 oz bottle. The pour was a simple, light brown with some chill haze and minimal carbonation. I'd be curious to know the ABV for a...

Raspberry Tart

Pictured 07/20/24 Original notes 04/18/08 Thanks go out to brickstoredave (and Lucy Saunders) for the chance to try this beer - something I've been waiting on for some time. 750mL with the usual wax-dipped neck presentation. Having had the Belgian...

Wisconsin Belgian Red

Wisconsin Belgian Red

Updated notes 07/19/24 Pictured Less turbidity and cleaner than the original 750, it's impossible to know if the beer has evolved since then, or if draft versus bottle makes a difference. Either way, this was more drinkable for me in 2024 than it...

Black Wheat

Not my favorite style, but a pretty nice example. The bottle that I had a much more brownish color than some of the other reviwers suggested. The black color was not as prevelant as other people has observed. Nice off-white head with a little...

Apple Ale (Unplugged Series)

Great head with impressive carbonation. A Russet apple color to go with the the mildly sweet apple aroma. I was expecting this to be like so many apple based alcohol products, that is, just a glorified cider where the apple flavor often tastes very...
