opaque pale yellow with a pink hue, fine white head, light sweet strawberry aroma balanced by the wheat tartness, light malt flavor, nice strawberry character adds to the light wheat but does not take over, nice light wheat tartness for a finish,

not too bad. sweet smooth wheaty fruity aroma. strawberry lightness behind the loose palate, nothing overwhelming, smooth and sesionable.

On tap at the Summertime Brews Festival in Greensboro, pours light, almost pink color, not much head. Strawberry does dominate the nose and tongue, as the name might suggest. A decent beer for the style, as long as you’re expecting a strawberry flavored beer.
