jodyperkins (70), Mississippi, USA Aug 25, 2007 Poured a nice golden color with a thick white head. Definite strawberry aftertaste which intensified as it warmed. My wife really liked this but I’d have to pass on trying this again. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 25, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of strawberries and some light grain. Flavor is strawberries, and lager hops with a fairly light body. MrBunn (1518), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours out a golden color witha one finger (but quickly disappearing) white head. Aromas are of strawberries, albiet kind of a fake strawberry, and the grain from the malt comes through as a shortcake scent. Flavor then comes across as fairly artificial, almost like a Fruit Roll Up or strawberry flavored Special K. It’s not really disgusting or anything, but I’m not sure to what extent I would call this beer. Maybe "Alcoholic Fruit Roll Up" beverage or something like that. Still, it is the first beer I’ve tried with strawberries... Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 25, 2007 Courtesy of Nick76. The aroma offers white cake, powdered strawberry mix and a hint of toasted malts. The body is ever a bright pale golden color and the head is two fingers thick, firm and quite lasting. The first sip greets you with lightly fruit-kissed grains gives the impression of a sugary breakfast cereal with water, rather than milk, added. It really doesn’t taste like strawberries, but rather just generically fruity. That being said, it’s not bad for what it is was obviously designed to be. It is a lightly fruity lager-pop and I suspect A-B would be proud to brew something like this. Palidor19 (1748), Brandon, Florida, USA Jul 24, 2007 Updated: Feb 22, 2008While there is a hint of Strawberry, its too much on the mild side for it to be truly effective. The rest of the beer is just a flat, bland attempt at nothing.

The flavor had a hint of strawberry sweetness. Nothing much else going on. Good for the summer.
