Thanks to jeffin7 for this bonus beer! Poured a medium gold, some floaties, and a big head that should have been my first warning sign. Aroma was bready, with an unusual amount of esters and a trace of sourness. That should have been my second warning sign. On first taste, a bready wheat flavor, some indistinct fruitiness, and a sour finish. Hmmm. Something odd and somewhat off-putting about that sour finish. Should have been my third warning sign. The beer was a bit too cool, so I went about some other things, and came back to it a few minutes later. Whammo, the flavor was clear right off the bat, we have some infection here folks. Tasted a couple of more times to make certain before letting it circle the drain. Too bad.

translucent copper with a thin but dense and creamy beige head. light body with high carbonation.

aroma: corn, strawberry cereal, and musty notes.

taste: adjunct lager with a strong dms note (tastes like water used to boil sweet corn), sweet pilsner malt, clean subtle hop bitterness, and a faint strawberry note if you’re looking for it.

i don’t see or smell or taste any evidence of wheat in this beer. thankfully, the strawberry flavoring is rather subtle, not overdone like most other strawberry flavored beers i’ve tried.

Came in a barn shaped case. Pours a slightly reddish golden color, thin white off-color head. Aroma of candy strawberry and grain. Taste is mostly the same. Not my thing, I’ve heard mixing this with their milk stout is pretty good. Never tried it.

Took a sip from my fiances beer from bottle. The hint of strawberry syrup comes through only slightly in the aroma and taste, and not much else going on except slight grain malt. Light, taste like a normal lager mostly.

Pours a golden amber with a slight tinge of red. Slightly fruity nose. Taste is crisp with a good balance and overtones of strawberry that are not overbearing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. MBA list. Ruby pour with tan head. Fruit and wheat and light spice tones. Eh I prefer other fruited wheat beers.

Aroma is that of freeze-dried strawberries. Deep golden in color. A bit of an artificial, though likable flavor...the strawberry lingers long after.

Light and thin, the fruity flavor of strawberry and perhaps vanilla, citrus, and cream. Very smooth, not very beer-like. Would be a good one to have at a summer picnic for non-beer folks.

Bottle, thanks to machfive55 in trade, clear red amber pour with thin white foam, aroma and flavor has a nice strawberry shortcake to it with some other floral, fruit

Just not my type. Aroma, too much strawberry. Appearance.... Most beer looks good and appetizing to me. I am not a fan of this at all..... or most fruit beers. Was like a low end beer and then the took a light strawberry syrup and dumped it in. BLAH! Just not my type --- Other beers from here are exceptional and underrated. (Hog and Amish)

On tap at brewery, by itself not a bad beer. Amber in color, small white head. Aroma of strawberries/fruit, taste of wheat with hints of strawberries. I usually don’t enjoy this beer by itself, but I do love mixing it with their milk stout. This is an excellent mix!!
