Commercial Description:
Fruli is a high quality Belgian white beer blended with pure fruit juice. The strawberry juice compliments the zesty fruitiness of the wheat beer and the result is a natural, soft and refreshing drink that is simply delicious!

250mL bottle from the LCBO in Toronto. Pours a nice, cloudy dark brown. Smells like children’s cough syrup - ugh. The taste is, not surprisingly, of strawberries. Better than children’s cough syrup anyway. This is like strawberry juice. (Well, I suppose it IS strawberry juice.) Which isn’t so bad, I suppose - unless you were hoping for something resembling a beer.

From bottle. Wow, very impressive aroma of fresh strawberries, almost as if they have been just picked and juiced. Cloudy pinkish, red in colour with a thin lace. Sweet strawberry flavour, not strong alcohol or even hops notes with the beer. More like a fruit juice. Pleasant fruit beer, a little on the sweet side. Will keep the Mrs happy whilst I sample some more beers to my liking.

Bottle. Pours murky red with a medium creamy white head. Sweet strawberry aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Sweet strawberry flavour that stays in your mouth for a long time.

Had on tap. Firstly the price put me off £3.90! but what about the beer? It tasted different and unusual and very much of strawberries, fizzy strawberries, somehow i just wonder how naturally the strawberries are, as they say its pure fruit juice i’ll give them a good rating.

250 ml bottle. Pours a clear reddish gold with red-white head. Nose is basically pure, sweet strawberry. Taste is like sweet strawberry juice. Practically like it’s not beer. Really needs something to dial down the sweetness. Very lively carbonation. Thinnish body. Not going to be rushing out for another.
