Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Fruit Beer
Melle, Belgium

This a great beer for the queer guy in all of us, you get to tell your friends your a man cause your drinking beer but the girlie man in you gets to enjoy his strawberry juice. The beer pours a very cloudy brownish pink, the head its self is also a light pink. The smell reminded me of home made strawberry jam not that cheap ass generic Safeway crap. On the first sip I thought I was drinking pure strawberry puree it was thick and fizzy. The taste was very strawberry with some good maltiness in the background turning more tart the longer on my tung, my girlfriend even enjoyed this beer and said she could see her self drinking a whole one. Very good fruit beer will be trying again.

Früli Strawberry Beer is a hazy, reddish light brown beer with a small film of an off-white head that has decent lacing. It has a powerful strawberry aroma, like strawberry candy. It’s light bodied, papery and crisp with very fine carbonation. It’s sweet with flavors of strawberry candy, bread, maybe apples and some bitter coriander. It’s very unique but pretty artificial tasting.

250mL bottle. Slightly different label than that in the picture. Pours a murky ruby color with a smallish quartz head. Lots of juicy strawberries in the sweet aroma. Some orange juice, lemons, and wheatiness in the background. Nice medium body - manages to be both sparkling and just a bit syrupy. The taste is as equally sweet as the aroma. Loads of strawberries and creaminess upfront with some light wheat, oranges, and lemons at the end. Yet another underrated fruit beer.

WRY FRUIT BARRELS ! The Fruli Strawberry does what is says it on the tin. It serves a purpose and does it pretty well. It isnt what I want to drink though and therefore didnt really let me down. Its sweet, sweet and sweet, so expect to lose your teeth drinking too much of this nectar !

Bottle at the Sharp Edge, 05.02.09. Pours opaque orange pink, thin off white head. Aroma is tart strawberry. Flavor is malty, strawberry, vanilla, whipped cream. This tastes kind of a like a wine cooler. Super disappointing.

Cloudy, rusty red to near copper with a light pinkish head. The smell up front is like strawberry jam with some floral notes. The taste was sweet strawberries up front with a bubblegum finish. There was also a little bit of soda water. Strange beer that isn’t quite sweet or fruit flavored enough to replace a pop. However, it is close to one of those fruit flavored carbonated waters.

250th rating of this brew. Pours a pinkish red with a tan head. Nose is sweet and pretty full of strawberry for a beer so lowly rated. Though I can appreciate the strawberry soda/strawberry candy comments, its not a real strawberry flavor, guessing its syrup or juice (oh I see it is juice) probably from Concentrate if you ask me.Taste is sweet and strawberry too sweet, but more drinkable than I would have guessed worth while to try blending with something bigger perhaps.

Bottle thanks to Mar. Pours a nice looking amber with white head. Aroma of great strawberry. Flavor of strawberry soda. Mouth feel is light body with high carbonation. Overall, very good but too sweet. Seems more like a strawberry soda..still a nice pool side beer.....kinda generic though...
