Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Fruit Beer
Melle, Belgium

Pours a hazy cherry red with a small white head that quickly subsides. Sweet, overpowering strawberry aroma. Sweet strawberry taste on a light lively body.,

250ml bottle. Red, hazy (from yeast only at bottom of bottle), thin wispy head. Very sweet strawberry aroma - like real fruit. Taste very similar. Without yeast it’s crisper and sourer, with yeast it’s slushier and a bit rubbery (not dark burnt rubber though). No finish. Summery.

Sweet fruity malty candy aroma. Color is hazy orange-amber. A bit flat, Tart strawberry orange flavor without much hops to speak of. Hints of cotton candy. Not the best belgian strawbeer but doesn’t deserve this low of a rating.

Hazy, murky pinkyish hue, with a white-pinky head, but falls quickly, good strawberry, raspberry jam nose, with a faint wheaty malt note, some fruity strawberry jello accents, with a subtle coriander spiciness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet acidic strawberry, kind of artificial fruity character, with a raspberry candyish flavor, leading towards a straberryish, acidic finish. A nice fruity bière blanche.

pretty good strawberry beer. pretty good body, nice strawberry taste, but keeps good beer characteresitcs whatever that means.

Small pinkish head. Pinkish opaque body. Sweetish strawberry and yoghurt aroma. Sweetish artificial strawberry taste with yoghurty, metal notes. A bit watery. Yucky strawberry metal aftertaste. Didn’t enjoy this. Left half the glass. (0.5pt keg at the Admiral Hardy, Greenwich.)

Bottle. [Trade with yespr, Thanks buddy] Average creamy and reddish head that mostly lasted. Good display of film like lacework. Muddy and reddish light brown color with heavy lumps of what might be yeast in the bottom of the glass. Heavy strawberry aroma. Almost like strawberry jam, not like fresh strawberries. Sweet fruity undertones and a hint of acidic as well. Light bodied with a thin texture and an average carbonation. Heavy sweet flavor. Sweet strawberry finish. Not that bad.

This has a very refreshing fruity taste - tastes more of juice than of beer. The aroma is strawberries. The color is foggy rose. I like it.
