COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This product is a malt beverage with natural flavors added. Real strawberry puree is infused into our classic Cream Ale to produce the unique flavor of our Strawberry Ale, hence a hint of strawberry sediment is to be expected in each bottle. Editor’s note: Same as Heiner Brau Strawberry?

12oz twist-off bottle. Cloudy golden color. White fizzy head of big bubbles. Loads of floaties. Aroma of pale malt and strawberry puree. Taste of pale malt, light strawberries, not overly sweet as most fruit beers can be. Finishes like Frankenberry Cereal, without the sugar. Simple, but still turned off by those floaties.(3331)

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, very pale yellow with a medium-sized, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is vaguely strawberry, kinda grainy. Flavor is mild strawberry, some malt. Points for subtle strawberry flavor. Light mouthfeel, as is appropriate. Drinkable; not a whole lot of flavor.

GT2 (3960) - Washington DC, USA - APR 29, 2012
355mL. Clear straw. Diminishing white head. Sugary plastic nose we sweet fake strawberry syrup. Taste is super bland and Suddy with hydrogen peroxide. Pretty bad. Very watery. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Newk (204) - - APR 23, 2012
pours a light gold color that had a little bit of haze to it. Poured into a pint glass and had a small head. As expected, strawberry dominated, but lacking depth along with some aromas of grains and a bit of malts as well. Medium bodied with a decent feel. The finish and mid is a bit clipped along with flavors of strawberries and grains. A easy drinking and nice beer. Nothing all to memorable, but solid enough.

kramer (3455) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 25, 2012
Tap. Pours a slightly murky and hazy pink tinged body with a frothy white head lhat looks like it actually looks like it has bits of strawberry in it. The nose is pretty well all strawberry, and it really smells like natural fruit. Surprised to actually like the aroma. The flavor reminds me of not-quite-ripe strawberries. Pretty nice, it doesnt taste fake or artificial like most strawberry beers I’ve had. Its not overly sweet either, just a light maltiness below the fruit. Lighter bodied but with a certain soft almost creamy texture to it and soft fizzy carbonation. This was surprisingly good, and the overall best beer that I had from Heiner Brau.

dfinney23 (510) - Houston, Texas, USA - MAR 19, 2012
Pours hazy gold with little head. Real strawberry aroma and flavor, blessedly not overly sweet. Or even very sweet at all, leaning more toward tart. Not bad at all!

jzzbassman (1267) - New Albany, Mississippi, USA - MAR 17, 2012
Pours a hideous murky yellow with zero head, but the aroma and flavor of real strawberry make it worth it. Nice hint of fresh strawberry, not overly ripe/ sweet and doesn’t have as much of that fruit cereal artificial sweetness in the Abita version.

Bottle - has a murky applesauce color it with no head. Didn’t really detect a fruity taste of any kind from it. Pass.

keepersj12 (1812) - Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA - JAN 25, 2012
A very intense strawberry aroma waifs from the bottle. The beer is a pale yellow with a small fading head. The flavor has a bit to much strawberry for my taste but it is tart and refreshing.
