 BeerandBlues2 (2411), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Jun 17, 2006 Draught. Pours amber with a tiny off-white head that mostly dissipates. Aroma is strawberry syrup (which is what I suspect they add to their Garfield Amber and then re-name it) and faint malt (toasted meal). Sour strawberry flavor, medium sweet maltiness. Light bodied and smooth, fizzy palate.

Oct 5, 2004 GABF 2004. Amber colored, clear, with a large, frothy white head. Aroma: light strawberry tartness with tannin. Lightly bitter, seemingly from strawberry seeds, though I could be reading too much into this fruit beer. Medium-bodied with a thin, slick palate. Decent for a strawberry beer, which I think it a difficult fruit to incorporate if you aren’t going the way of a lambic.
