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!

Your basic fruit beer. the strawberries made it intriguing to me. Great Strawberry flavor, and a hint of spice. The hint of spice makes it better than your average massively fruited beer but not much. Definitely more fruit than beer.

Bottle. Pours a reddish orange, quite murky body with a dense, off-white/pink, medium sized head that leaves some nice lacings. Frozen and tawing strawberries, rather artificial and sweetish, with powdersugar and some sourish notes. Sweet flavor with white sugar and strawberry. Strawberry finish too. Sticky in the mouth. A quite nice fruitbeer in a way, but I’m not overly content with it. (080112)

Bottle. Brown / orange colour with a white head. Strong aroma of sugar and ripe strawberry. Flavour is the same. I like this one.

250mL bottle from the LCBO in Toronto. Pours a nice, cloudy dark brown. Smells like children’s cough syrup - ugh. The taste is, not surprisingly, of strawberries. Better than children’s cough syrup anyway. This is like strawberry juice. (Well, I suppose it IS strawberry juice.) Which isn’t so bad, I suppose - unless you were hoping for something resembling a beer.

Sampled as ’Frubee Strawberry’:
Deep orange/ruby coloured body with severe hazyness and a nice pinkish head with some cream colour to it. Aroma of yeast, caster sugar, malt and you guessed it: pure strawberries...very nice. Medium to Full-bodied; Wierd tartness and strong flavours up front with a bunch of alcohol and malt noticeable then fading to an all out fruit attack. Aftertaste shows some of the lingering bitterness, but mostly fruity and almost no alcohol is noticeable. Overall, this beer is alright - not enough going on for me to truly enjoy...but its good to sample. I sampled this 25 cL bottle purchased at K&E Discount Liquors in New Paltz, New York on 15-December-2005.

250ml bottle. Pours a cloudy bubbly, reddish brown colour. Smells almost entirely of strawberries, with a hint of sourness. Very sweet, quite smooth. Kind of reminds me of a strawberry soda mixed with some alcohol. Doesn’t really taste like a beer, but I quite like it.

Not bad at all - don’t believe everything you read on ratebeer. Tiny pink head, red-grapefruit-pink shades in the body. Quite fresh strawberry aroma. Taste mushed strawberries but remember to leave out the yeast. Without it, it’s dry and fresh.
