3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
In bottle, a bit of a gusher. Pours a golden colour with a white head that dies away. Aroma of strawberries and Werther’s original caramels. Similar flavours, a little sweet, with some lemony tang and very mild bitterness. Heavy carbonation, a little CO2 prickle and a foamy mouth-feel. Not bad.

1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle from Galeria Kaufhof, Alexanderplatz, Berlin. GUSHER! *cleaning up sticky mess* In the glass, it appears to be a slightly pink-hued orange body with a small white head. Aroma is sweet sticky strawberry jam tones and...*sniffing*...no, not much else. The sticky strawberries hide everything else. Taste is no better: strawberry jam (of the cheap supermarket kind with 80% sugar), molasses and hints of grassy hops, almost detectable in the back. Completely overrated, one-dimensional and waaay too sweet for its own good.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a light fluffy head. Strawberry aroma. Strawberry, grass and cream taste. Sweet finish with no bitterness at all. Taste a lot like campino sweets but not in a bad way.

Better than melvilles. Sweet strawberry nose, amber beer, little bitterness ad malt character.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Reddish amber, slight pink hue, moderate to large frothy white head, spotty lacing, lively
carbonation. Candyish fruity nose, much like that Mamba Strawberry candy. I haven’t seen it in a while,
but the waxy fake fruitiness is almost spot on. While great in a candy, in a beer is a little suspicious.
Sweet on the tongue, not overly done. Heavy berry like, moreso like Strawberry as the name assumes but also a
mixture of other berries. Decent malt base, lingering berry sweetness. No doubt about it, this is a fruit
beer and not as fake as others. &nbs Granted, I compare everything to New Glarus these days, but in this case Dan
doesn’t do a Strawberry beer. As it is, falvorful, sweet, very minor tartness, but also has a fake candyishness
to it. Is that even a word? Aroma and flavor are a bit above par, body and mouthfeel are average.
Didn’t expect this one to be too heavy, but you never know. As it is, decent, but probably more of a novelty
than a beer. Glad I had a chance to try it tho. &bnsp Great on a hot *pre* summer day. Not sure what I
would drink this one with. Perhaps a nice salad? Thanks Craig!

The beer pours to a reddish-hued golden body with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is strawberries, but has some odd girly like perfume laden soap. The flavor is definitely strawberries. Still has a light blonde ale character. Sort of like Welch’s strawberry soda with a light beer. The palate has a long lingering sweetness that also reminds me of drinking strawberry soda. Medium sweet body.
