Brau Brothers Strawberry Wheat

Brewed by Brau Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Lucan, Minnesota USA

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy golden blonde with a good poofy head. Aroma is as promised- strong strawberry essence. Interestingly, I get little strawberry flavor. Sweetness is well hop-balanced. Typically, strawberry beers have a bad off-flavor due to the seeds. I don’t get that here. This brewer has the perfect name- Dustin Brau!

Lightly Cloudy Yellow Color with White Head. Nice Aromatic Balance of Sweet Strawberry and Wheat. Light to Medium Bodied..Lightly Creamy Carbonated Mouthfeel. Subtle Sweet Strawberry Flavor Throughout, Nicely Balanced by Equally Wheat Notes on the End. Clean, Crisp Finish. Light Notes of Cream Througout as Well. Very Nice Light Session Brew for the Summer.

A very light, refreshing beer. The strawberry content is so minimal as to be almost nonexistent, but it is there in the aroma and the finish. Also, I’ve had some that were more strawberry-tasting than others, so it seems as thought this may vary from batch to batch. I really enjoyed this beer.

12 oz bottle from TC Craft Beer. Cloudy yellow pour with a head that quickly disappears. Fresh, creamy aroma with a hint of strawberry. Not too much of a flavor profile, kind of a toned down wheat beer. I’m not noticing too much of the strawberry, it’s very faint. Not a bad beer, would be a good summertime session beer.

Thanks JK! Light yellow color with no head. Very weak strawberry aroma. The taste is very much a soapy strawberry flavor, but somehow it manages to not be so in a bad way. Interesting, but not my go-to wheat beer by any stretch.

Thick cloudy straw color with white head. Grainy nose with hints of malt. Strawberry was rather lacking, more of a sweet wheat. The only time I found a hint of strawberry was when I slammed the final few ounces. You really have to search for it.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy light golden color with a big head full of tiny packed bubbles. There is a very nice lacing on this beer as well as some nice retention. The aroma is an earthy, wheat aroma with a slight, slight hint of strawberry. If you didn’t know it was there you would pass it by. Flavor is slightly sweet and a touch of citrus on top of a fairly solid wheat beer with a slight kiss of strawberry flavor at the end. Very different. You don’t see too many strawberry beers around. This is a nice beer to slam after mowing your lawn on a hot summer day.

Appearance: cloudy, pale yellow banana hue, with little head. Aroma: banana, small spice, ...and there’s the strawberries...and little else. A bit dull, lacking certain somethings. Like charm, and panache and beauty, and stuff. Taste: strawberry’s on top now, but little else is going on. There’s a wheaten feel, a yeasty zest, and it’s light, smooth(ish), and drinkable. But not too tasty. Not bad, actually...the strawberry is rather minor, easily quaffed, but...could be a whole lot better. You can do it, guys, I know you can.
