LilBeerDoctor (2568) - East Setauket, New York, USA - DEC 20, 2009
Bottle. Pours a hazy light brown with a very small ring of white head. Aroma of sweet strawberry and fruit juices. Flavor is sweet with lots of strawberry. Overall this beer is sweet, easy drinking, and enjoyable (although I do admit it is lacking in complexity). 7/4/7/4/14 [3.6/5]

trapez (1295) - Hilleroed, DENMARK - NOV 14, 2009
Bottle. Fruit, yeast and citrus aroma, but absolutely no strawberry. Unclear redbrown colour with dimunuitive beige head. Acid flavour with yeast and perhaps some hidden strawberries. Sweet aftertaste.

gloriously thick flavor of sugar, not strawberry. Sweet and thick, hardly any sourness or vinegar flavor. Bottle from Knightly Spirits, Orlando.

rudolf (2229) - Buffalo, New York, USA - OCT 16, 2009
Bottle courtesy of Swoopjones! Thanks! Pours a cloudy ruddy orange with a thin white head. Nose is imitation strawberry syrup - not quite strawberry ice cream level, more like strawberry twizzlers or runts. Past that sweet strawberry is maybe a bit of lambic acidic character and a hint of must. Flavor is imitation strawberry, a bit of lemon. More funk than I expected but it’s really overwhelmed by the cloying sweetness. I’ve had sodas that were less sweet than this. Still, better than expected - I’d probably take this over the sweetened lindemans lambics if offered the choice - at least this shows some authentic character.

Sten (396) - Westerlo, BELGIUM - JUL 22, 2009
Very strange hazy brown colour, almost no head. Smells strange, The flavour is disguisting. Didn’t finish it, maybe a bad bottle. I don’t even want to know. (Bottle 25cl)

Bottle, 3.5%. Cloudy dark red brown colour. Good strawberry flavour, sweet and citric. Like many other fruit beers, but more citric.

Drank in Brussels Head - no head Aroma - Smells good, very fruity strawberry. Color - deep red Taste - This is a horrible beer, taste is way to overpowering sweet, I love a fruity beer, but this is horrible. Don’t waste your time!!!

StefanSD (1542) - Lakeside, California, USA - JUN 5, 2009
Bottle at Toncatchers. Thanks to Wetherel for bringing this. A reddish-brown pour with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity with strawberries. The taste is more of the same, but I’d think that the flavor is more like chemical strawberry extract rather than fresh berries. The mouthfeel is moderately full with lively carbonation. Overall: Not bad, just a bit too sweet for me.
