COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fruli is a high quality Belgian white beer blended with pure fruit juice. The strawberry juice compliments the zesty fruitiness of the wheat beer and the result is a natural, soft and refreshing drink that is simply delicious!

Poured into Delirium Tulip. Light red/pink with little head. Smell is major strawberry, very fruity, super sugary. Taste is super super sweet, it’s like drinking soda. Very big strawberry and orange taste. Honestly nothing like beer, more like putting juice in a Strawberry Fanta. Not good for a beer drinker, but personally, I love it.

has that fruit beer taste you’d expect but leaves a pleasant beer taste on the palate. i might like this too much as i love strawberry but dont get me wrong there is a time and a place for fruit beer.

This an amazing fruit beer, the first time I had it, my mind was blown. It may be the macro version of fruit beer but that doesn’t change the fact that it is an excellent brew. The taste and aroma are amazing!

JFGrind (1552) - Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 15, 2012
UPDATED: JAN 18, 2012 Small bottle and low alcohol content yielded a fizzy pink light bodied sweet strawberry beer. Enjoyable, Früli was just too sweet of a beer for my palate. Mixed with Rogue Shakespeare Stout made a great black & tan.

Pours a cloudy pink. Taste reminds me of a strawberry starburst. Nice finish, not bitter or hoppy.

Benjii (1659) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - DEC 19, 2011
In bottle, pours a cloudy pink colour with a thin white head. Aroma of artificial strawberry sweets and caramel. Similar flavours with a sweet and tangy fruit tingle finish. Not my thing.

Bottle poured into snifter. I don’t get the hate on this beer. You order a strawberry beer and that’s what you get strawberries. Simply put. Refreshing and easy to drink.

EdKing (760) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 7, 2011
UPDATED: DEC 8, 2011 Bottle in The Crown & Two Chairmen. Pours cloudy bubbly reddish pink with nice white champagne foam head. Nose is sugary sweet strawberry bubblegum. Taste is also sweet strawberry bubblegum. Overpowers anything else. Light and fluffy stuff but too sugary.
