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.

Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. We were curious about what this would taste like given the fruit of choice used by the brewer. Pours a relatively clear yellow color with thin off-white head. Fruity aromas, but not sure we detected strawberries. Definitely ripe fruit and grain. Taste has notes of strawberry and other fruity flavors. Generally watery mouthfeel with quick finish. Interesting.

Pours clear, yellow, with a fine, white head. Aroma is very akin to strawberry pie. Flavor is lightly grainy with a pleasant strawberry flavor. I’m a fan. Thin mouth feel.

Smell of strawberries. This is basically Blonde with some berry flavor. Even the wife had one and she doesn’t drink. Not a bad beer.

12 oz bottle...murky gold w/ a white head. HUGE nose of super, sweet strawberries! Flavor reminded me of strawberry flavored syrup added to a light beer. It was very watery w/ some fizzy carbonation. The sweetness stuck to my palate like velcro! I would only recommend this beer to girly-men.

Not too bad of an aroma of strawberries, but the flavor left a lot to be desired, I felt as if it was a Budweiser plus the hint of strawberries. At least it drinks a lot smoother than Budweiser...

Draught. Strawberries. I must say it does have a very natrual aroma and flavor though. This is a decent fresh fruit drink. Kind of girly. I can drink it, but I’m just turned off by the fact that it tastes virtually nothing like beer.

Draft at Woods on South. The name pretty much gives this away. It pours golden with white head. The flavor and aroma are all about strawberry. Not much else. If you want a strawberry beer give it a try. Otherwise it needs more balance.
