The Melbourn beers use lambic yeasts, so have qualities similar to lambic yet are fruit beers. Smooth, delicious. Fine champagne-like lively carbonation. Sweet-tart strawberry flavor with hardly any beer characteristics. Clean finish. Melbourn has been a favorite of mine for many years, so I will be sad to see these brews disappear. The Melbourn brews are easy to fall in love with, even for non-beer drinkers!

Jan 31, 2010 ( 12oz bottle from Lone Star Beverages in Carrollton, TX) Pours clear pink orange with nice frothy bubbles. Nose of strawberry juice, tart fruit and cherries. Taste of sugar, real strawberries, artificial sweetener with a lightly tart finish.
This was better than I expected it to be.

Oct 12, 2009 Artificial-tasting strawberry shortcake sweetness and a strange bitter - two things that are not good seperately, put them together and it doesn’t get better.

Sep 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark ruby body with a thin pink film. Sweet and sugar coated fruit. Berries but very generic tasting, moderately tart with low acidity. Decent offering.

Jul 3, 2009 pours a dirty light red-brown with thick rocky slightly pink head.
very fruity aroma, sugar and berries mostly, like candy. similar flavor, overly sweet but also fairly tart. it’s really more candy than beer, but it’s not bad, and not quite cloying.
a bit effervescent and somewhat slick. not very lambic-y, other than slight sour notes.

Jun 15, 2009 Fantastic natural strawberry flavor, whioch is hard to come across in a ny form. It’s like those all natural fruit roll-ups you can get at Smoothie King, you can feel the grain left by the pressed fruit. My only regrets are that it was not more sour and the body was a little thin.

May 30, 2009 Drank during the 2009 FA Cup final, come on you toffees! fuck chelsea up!! .. . before i even open the beer, 1-0 everton, good start, just like this beer, Wonderful fresh strawberry aromas, with some light olde world wooden bucket and some very light musk .. .. Pours a dark pink-ruby colour, with a very respectable head ring, good swirls .. . Tangy and sweet, light light tartness, with a very pure strawberry flavour, medium finish .. . 1-1, just like the scoreline the beer evens out, very refreshing stuff!!A great strange little beer, that really isn’t to involved but generally enjoyable.. .
