Melbourn Brothers Strawberry

Brewed by Melbourn Brothers (Samuel Smith)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Stamford, England

this beer was delicous. plain and simple. Strawberry aroma and flavor but not overpowering sweetness. Excellent lambic

Firewaters (bottle) strawberry blond in color..this tastes like fresh mashed strawberries...very nice representation of fruit...strawberries in their true essence!

Pours amber into a shaker. Off-white micro head had good retention. Strawberry lolipop aromas. Crisp and dry with sour strawberry jam from front to back. Strawberry is the only flavor I get.

I had forgotten that this was a "lambic" before I poured so when I got a whiff of the nose I cracked that little "oh yeah" grin. The aroma is somewhat lambic in nature with clear strawberries present, but there is a very slight vinegary funk in the nose. Appearance is light red/orange in color, sort of like a light tea. Mouthfeel is nice, although not nearly on par with some of the better lambics floating about these days. It’s STILL has a nice feel in there with a bit of a puckering swish to it. Flavors are slightly sour, like biting into an underripe strawberry (in the beer world, thats a good thing) but still hangs on to that acidic angle. Finish is clean. Overall, quite an excellent beer and one that I find could be consumed in large amounts during one evening. I will be looking for this one again.

aroma of u guessed it Strawberry, looks almost orange, some sourness, with great big amounts of strawberry, decnt beer, luckily not too sweet, like most fruit beers, these guys do understand the concept of a fruit beer.

Tart and sweet, great strawberry flavor - very enjoyable, could keep a few of these in the fridge all summer long.

Bottle @ WSF 2008. Clear light red with tiny off white head. Sweet with strawberries, malt and a mild tart end. Good mouthfeel.

I bought this for my wife to try since she mostly likes sweet and fruit-type beer... Color is mostly red with a purple tint to it., slightly hazy. Visible carbonation is lively and it has a fizzy pink head. Aroma is like strawberries and cream, sweet, with a little hint of cough syrup. Flavor is mostly real strawberry (not artificial tasting at all) and somewhat tart (in a good way - like a berry fresh off the bush). There is a slight sour cherry flavor in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium and not fizzy at all. My wife liked this one much better than any of the other fruit beers that I have recently brought home for her. 12 oz bottle, $5.49+tax from River’s Bend.
