Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer

250ml bottle from Tescos. Looks and smells like a strawberry smoothie; strong sweet strawberry flavour with perhaps a hint of beer. Refreshing and different, a pleasant drink, as long as you like strawberries.

Bottle. Clear red coloured with a light pink head. Perfumed aroma of strawberries and butter. Flavour of strawberries and butter.

Bottle. A redish beer with a pink head. The aroma and taste is of Strawberries and is sweet. Medium body with a soda pop like finish.

250 mL bottle. Translucent brownish red with a film of head. Smells like sweet strawberry juice. Tastes like sweet, heavily carbonated strawberry syrup that someone has spilled a little beer into as a joke. I’m not big on fruit beers in the first place, but this one is way too strong and sweet. I can see how some may find it a decent summer drink, though.

Bottle. Hazy reddish colour with a small pinkish head. Sweet strawberry aroma and taste. This could be a juice and not a real beer.

This is a very tough one to rate as it smells, looks and tastes nothing like beer. strong strawberry aroma. pale pink in the glass. tastes like freshly fermented strawberries. This would be very refreshing on a hot day and is perfect for people who don’t like the taste of "beer". It does an excellent job of doing what it wants to do, so kudos for that.

Tap. (as 4,2 % vol). Pours a deep muddy dark red. Has a thin white film head. Aroma has loads of strawberries and a general fruity sweetness. Taste maintains a light sourness, granting ’access’ to the sweet end of strawberry. Mouthfeel has loads of small bubbles and quite a full feel.

250 ml bottle - pours cloudy pink/orange with a pinkish head. Aroma is pretty much like strawberry concentrate. Taste is much the same - sweet strawberry with a sort of dry, tart finish. Not bad, but really one-dimensional. Strawberry juice (from concentrate) in a bottle. There’s no hint of a Belgian wit lurking underneath, nor the coriander and orange peel that the label proudly proclaims. Pure strawberry. If the bottle was any bigger, I probably would have dumped some.
