Straw color with a thicker, tight bubbled, off-white head. A quick sniff reveals stomach acid and fizzy strawberry soda. Luckily the stomach stench only last a short time and you are left with scents of starburst and a hint of wheat. Fairly thin and fizzy in feel, but enough sweetness to give some sticky sensations. A pale lager with strawberry cotton candy. A mild candy strawberry flavor in the finish and the linger dries out leaving husks of grain and over-ripe berry flavors floating about waiting to be rinses out. Rinse, taste, repeat. Suave shampoo comes to mind.

Oct 6, 2008 In bottle in NOLA. Beer pours a clear light gold with ample carbonation and thin white wispy crown. Very little lacing with a wonderfully sweet aroma of strawberries, but a slight hint of wheat malt turns me off a bit. Flavour is very light up front, not much malt sweetness or hop bitterness and a slightly crisp finish that leaves a hint of wheat on the palate. A few tastes have to be had before the strawberry taste accumulates on the palate and it can be enjoyed. It was not impressive upon first taste and was a beer that had to, but did, grow on me. Very light-bodied and aggressively carbonated unless purposely agitated. Great session beer, especially if you like sweeter flavours.

Oct 5, 2008 Light aroma of strawberries and wheat. Pours light yellow with a thin, bubbly head. Very good mouth feel. Very light flavor with a pleasant strawberry quality. Not fake, sugary. Good Summer beer!

Sep 21, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear pale golden with a short, fizzy cap of white head. The aroma picked up musty strawberry seeds with a wheat and pale malty backing.. not bad. The flavor had sticky-sweet pale malts at the core with the same musty strawberries and prickly wheat sourness.. dry and unpleasant on the back with an almost rotting strawberry feel.. empty and unsatisfying at the finish. Light-bodied on the palate with scratchy carbonation.. OK use of fruit, but still not enjoyable in any regard.

Sep 19, 2008 Interesting, but I don’t think I would drink this one again. Pours a slightly cloudy blond with a thin white head. Weird ripe strawberry aroma. Large strawberry flavor and very sweet. A bit too much for me.
