Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Fruit Beer
Melle, Belgium

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.

Pours orange pink into a tumbler. Pink micro head with good retention. Hard strawberry candy aromas. Sweet strawberry candy flavor throughout.

11.2oz bottle, pours hazy light reddish brown, small light pink head, aroma is strong with ripe strawberries, small orange peel, deeply aromatic, taste is beer with strawberry juice nothing outstanding, crisp dry finish, nothing special.

bottle, pink color with pinkish foam, aroma is strawberry preserves and flavor is same, doesnt taste fake like some other fruit beers, pretty good

Dried strawberries and vanilla essenceon the nose. Murky rose pink/red colour tastes like sickly cough mixture...didn’t finish it! FROTHINGSLOSH i like fruit beers but unfortunately this is commercial pap!

Sampled on draft at D’s in Monroeville PA this beer poured a murky pinkish brown color with a small white head. The aroma was strong strawberry Jam and cream. The flavor was strong real strawberries and cream with a long strawberry finish. Most strawberry beer end up tasting rather artificial but this one was remarkably like real strawberries. Sadly, most folks on this site instinctively hate fruit beer as they never get a fair shake here. This beer was excellent.
