Commercial Description:
The strawberry fields of North Carolina are the inspiration for this amber-colored ale made with the finest malts and hops and enhanced with real strawberries. The result is a refreshing, full-bodied, crisp ale that bursts on your palate with just the right hint of sweetness for balance.

Bottle from Topsail Island. Very dark reddish brown in color, no head to speak of. Taste has plenty of strawberry, on the bitter side, with slight sourness, but not enough. Not much sweetness, which suits me fine. Interesting.

On tap at the Charlotte Airport, Carolina Bar. Pale straw color with creamy white head. Aroma is big fruity strawberry with yogurt, very sweet. Flavor is strawberry syrup, sweet, yogurt. Slightly syrupy but watery and light body. Almost like strawberry yogurt not grainy but extremely sweet.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Triangle Plaza, Raleigh, NC. Pours an orange tinted amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Slightly hazy. Aroma is candy strawberry with a bit of a cheesiness and very faint grass. Taste is lightly bready with very faint toast, strawberry cheesecake, faint grassiness. Thin and slightly watery. This is the start of a good beer, but it’s too thin and not well balanced.

Pours golden with a fluffy head. Aroma of strawberry and not a fake one at that. Light body with wheat and some caramel. Strawberry is very reserved for a fruit beer. Surprisingly not bad.

I love the aroma of this. Smells like strawberry jam. Pours a light amber with a fluffy head. The flavor is a bit too much strawberry for me though. A real refreshing drink for a hot summer day but more like a daquiri than a beer.

Tap at Woods on South 2/1/08: Pours an effervescent golden with an airy, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of floral fresh strawberries and some sweet pale malt. Body starts semi-sweet with good fruity earthy strawberry flavor balanced with a mild tartness. Finishes thinner and semi-dry. A pretty good fruit beer.

Slightly hazy pale amber pour. Fizzy white head and a small amount of lace. Smuckers strawberry jam on the nose, which for me is my favorite part of this beer. Flavor was a little to artificial for me.
