Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer

Bottle from mar. Pours with a small white fading head and a hazed pink body. Aroma of strawberry, gelatin, sugar and cereal. Taste is sugar, soda, strawberry flavoring. Lightish bubbles. Tastes exactly like strawberry Fanta. Soda. Do you want some beer with your strawberry juice?

18? Are you f’ing kidding me? I thought this was solid. Great summer brew that actually tasted like the fruit on the label. Can’t tell you the number of fruit beers that don’t actually taste like they claim.

Bottle. Pours a cranberry body with a white head. Sweet sugar and strawberries are the essence of this brew. Delicious aroma but how does it hold up. Chewy and sweet with a soft strawberry flavor. Well if this is what was set out to be done its a hell of a sugar sweet brew with a lingering sweetness. Well its honestly delicious, it tastes like a sweetened fruit juice, and well it has alcohol, im not sure i could really drink more than one of these, as far as beer goes it hardly seems as such but whatever it tastes dam good.

Bottle, room temperature. This is strawberry red with a bit of orange in the colour and a very thin, slightly pink head. There is a fair bit of strawberry in the aroma with some funk, leafiness, distant sugar like strawberry pie filling. The mouthfeel is medium in body, a bit clinging. The flavour is not terribly strong: there’s some tart strawberry, not in any way complex.

Delicious strawberry. I fully expect to be one of only two people who will feel this way. Strawberry aroma and color; if you poured it on ice it would be a daquiri. I don’t think it tastes truly Belgian.

A delicious fruit beer. Aroma was big. All strawberry and you could almost smell sugar if that makes sense. Pour was a nice deep red with no head or bubbles. Taste was sweet and strawberry with good carbonation and a little hint of funkiness and yeast. Very light and easy to drink.

Sampled on 4/22/2009. This fruit beer pours a reddish amber color form a 25cl bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is strawberries and malt, fairly sweet. A light to medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are fruity and sweet. There are lots and lots of strawberry flavors in this beer from sweet to very sweet. Some coriander and orange peel flavors as well. A little on the flat side. A little of this beer goes a LONG way. It could use some tartness to help balance the ever-increasing sweet strawberry flavors. Need some more carbonation as well. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. The finish is clean and smooth. The aftertaste is sweet.

pinkish red pour with white head. Aroma and taste is of strawberries. Highly carbonated.
