Draught, some bar off Oxford Street in London. A lurid slightly hazy red drink. Syrupy sweet and probably isn’t targeted at beer drinkers. Strawberry jam flavour. Have had worse and wouldn’t rule out a return glag of this if nothing else available.

They’re taking the piss having the nerve to call this "beer" . Ive had alcopos with less generic flavours. Strawberry ice lollies -Strawberry jam .Srtawberry syrup ..Strawberry nightmares. How many times can I write the word strawberry before I throw up ? .!!!!

From bottle. Terrific strawberry aroma. Like macerated berries and cream. Sweet, lush. No harsh notes in nose and no hop character. Dark red amber murky, like juice, with no head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Tons of berry flavor and lots of sugar. Not much bitterness or malt character. Like strawberry juice with carbonated rose water. OK, but not one I’d likely have again. My wife enjoyed it tremendously.

250 mL Bottle. Looks more like a murky rosé bubbly wine than a beer -but with a small pale pink foamy head with good retention. Candy-sweet aroma of strawberries stands out, hints of citrus peel and coriander. Flavor is like strawberries and strawberry jam; too sweet. Aftertaste and mouth feel are a sticky-sweet combo of strawberries and cotton candy. Forget it!

Bottle… Cloudy, dirty orange ale with a small, fluffy, pinkish head. Good retention. The aroma is perfumey and candy-sweet... strawberry fragrance with rumors of coriander and orange peel. Medium to full-bodied with a sticky mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. The flavor is, in a word, cloying. Sweet and syrupy, like strawberry jelly. The hops aren’t completely absent, but they’re definitely running late for class. Finishes sticky-sweet. If I did such things, I would have dumped this one out about halfway through the bottle… and it’s a small bottle. Almost zero drinkability due to all the sugar.

Strawberry colored with a pinkish foamy head that does leave some lacing. Aroma of fresh strawberries, including the stems, dough. Somewhat tart and definitely sweet. The strawberries are all over the flavor and it’s very sweet almost cloying. Reminds me a bit of a Jolly Rancher candy. Mild tartness on the back end.

(bottle - 248 ml) Cloudy pinkish color with a white head. Aroma is chock full of fresh strawberries and sugary malts. Almost smells like fresh strawberry preserves. Flavor is much the same. Lots of strawberry flavors up front with a smooth and mild malt middle and a very light strawberry taste on the finish. Definitely a dessert beer and tastes just like strawberry preserves. Rating #1900.
