Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Fruit Beer
Melle, Belgium

Bottle. Pours murky red with a medium creamy white head. Sweet strawberry aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Sweet strawberry flavour that stays in your mouth for a long time.

Had on tap. Firstly the price put me off £3.90! but what about the beer? It tasted different and unusual and very much of strawberries, fizzy strawberries, somehow i just wonder how naturally the strawberries are, as they say its pure fruit juice i’ll give them a good rating.

250 ml bottle. Pours a clear reddish gold with red-white head. Nose is basically pure, sweet strawberry. Taste is like sweet strawberry juice. Practically like it’s not beer. Really needs something to dial down the sweetness. Very lively carbonation. Thinnish body. Not going to be rushing out for another.

I’m not a big fan of Belgian beer but this one was good. Hazy cranberry colour,strong strawberry taste and smell. Great for dessert. Tastes more like wine than beer.

250 mL bottle from LCBO. Strong strawberry aroma, definitely real strawberry, not a fake syrup. Slightly rotted scent. Deep, dark orange pink color, with a lasting, strikingly pale rose head. Good lacing. Flavor very sweet, very fruity, very carbonated. Washes everything else out. But overall, an enjoyable beverage. Not sure it’s fair to call it beer though...

I’m just not the fruit beer guy but my wife ordered this and insisted it was one of the best fruit beers she had ever tasted. This was too sweet for me but there are still typical wiessen flavors there so I have to say it’s not horrible. This looks like strawberry juice in the glass, bright red.

Had in a 250 mL bottle at bottlescrew Bills, calgary, AB. Pours a bright amber colour which is slightly hazy and has a thin head. Aroma is of strawberry flavoured candy. Even before my first taste, i expected this to be more of a cooler or even a soda than beer. I was correct. The "beer" (if you can call it one) has an overly sweet flavour of artificial strawberry flavour. Overcarbonation attempts to make up for the less than desirable flavour of this "beer". After all of this, this is still a fairly good "beverage" that would be perfect on an insatiably hot day or by a pool.

this tastes more like red ice cream topping than beer. the only thing beer about it is the fizz. cheap cherryade or something. nasty.
