Austral Calafate if you want bright, direct fruit punch;
New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red if you want tart complexity and funk.
Both sit at the same IBU floor, so bitterness won't separate them—it's all about fruit character and origin. Calafate brings South American berry directness, while Wisconsin Red layers wild yeast complexity under the cherry. Pick based on mood: simple pleasure versus contemplative depth.

Austral Calafate
Austral Calafate hits you with immediate calafate berry—tart, almost tart-candy forward. It's uncomplicated in the best way: the fruit isn't hiding behind oak or wild yeast funk. The 5.5% ABV gives it enough body to feel substantial without weighing you down. Finishes clean, almost like you just bit into fresh berries.
New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red
Wisconsin Belgian Red opens with cherry, but then something spicy and slightly funky creeps in—that's the Belgian yeast doing its thing. It's not sour exactly, more like a gentle twang that makes you think rather than just refresh. The 5.1% keeps it sessionable despite the complexity. There's an old-world restraint here that rewards a second sip.
