3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
HInts of red in an amber bodied brew. Nose of strawberries and wheat. A mix of malt-o-meal and strawberry jam. The light wheat and strawberries seem to work well in this one and not get too sweet. A summertime brew.

Poured a pinkish gold color with a moderate amount of lightly-tinted white head. The smell has quite a bit of strawberry pungency, which was actually quite nice. The taste, however, is quite a bit more overpowering and doesn’t taste at all natural, affecting the drinkability, as one sip is decent enough, but as my wife and I tried to finish a sampler glass it began to taste more and more like a fruity malt beverage.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fourth stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Sampled on tap at the downtown brewpub. Pours a cloudy burnt amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of strawberry cream, some wheat and multi-grain malt, and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is more like a summer wine cooler. Lots of carbonation, light bodied, fruity strawberries with hardy any wehat flavor. Could not pick up much yeast flavor that is in most hefeweizens. Finish is smooth, fruity with a nice strawberry aftertaste.
