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.

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.

Bottle at the Charlotte airtport. Very nice strwberry aroma, I was expecting something artificial but it is not. Pale yellow like any pale lager. Good tingly palate. Flavor is also not artificial as I was expecting. Not bitter at all. Friendly finish, one of the better fruit beers I’ve tasted. Good session beer for a fruity. Pleasantly surprized!

12 oz. Foggy orange-copper with a small, lasting head that leaves some soapy lace. Aroma is strawberries and cream. Front flavor is light tart berry with some caramel apple, then a woody-resin and dry grass finish. Light body is watery and finishes dryish. Tastes like a decent bitter with a light dose of strawberry; pretty decent fruit beer.

KBjam. Large strawberries on the nose. An orange/pink pour with tight white head and lace. Fruity and malty. Medium bodied with pretty good carbonation. A pretty tasty fruit if I do say so myself.

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.

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.

Pinkish red, no head. Smells and tastes likes a strawberry Jolly Rancher dissolved in a run of the mill golden ale (I stole that description from tronraner, btw) Sampled at 2008 Knoxville Brewer’s Jam
