Aroma is dominated by strawberry with a very subtle earthy hop smell in the background. Light golden color with no foam. Carbonated strawberry soda pop taste upfront followed by some faint oatmeal malts. Overall, very bland flavoring with bubbly carbonation. I’d give this a D- rating.

A clear gold color and a small white head. The aroma is mostly strawberry with a bit of yeast. The flavor has some malt sweetness up front, with the strawberry making up the rest of the flavor and aftertaste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Unclear golden of color with a white head. An aroma of fruits, appels and dusty. A flavor of green strawberries.

Bottle, 22oz, thanx Per A. It pours a more or less clear body, golden in color and with a finger-thick off-white head. The aroma is sort of like a regular Belgian blonde with a strawberry addition. Strawberry and beers are seldom a good combination, but at least it sort of works here. Strawberry sourness, strawbeery sweetness, pale malts and a generic fruityness in the flavor. Medium body, rather effervescent. Strawberry finish with some lemon and pale malts. Not a very nice one, but it drinks easily and won’t scare anyone away. 110129

This strawberry blonde was not too interesting...it tasted like two separate things - a thin beer and some strawberry juice - not like a unified drink

This is quite plae in colour with no evidence of strawberries in the colour, but then the aroma comes along. A beautiful punch of strawberry! No doubt here what the fruit is but it is not over the top. The flavour had a decent amount of strawberry there too, firm bitterness and not much in the way of malt character. Unfortunaetly I’m just not a big fruit beer fan, hence the lower score.
