Very strange hazy brown colour, almost no head. Smells strange, The flavour is disguisting. Didn’t finish it, maybe a bad bottle. I don’t even want to know. (Bottle 25cl)

Bottle. Fruit, yeast and citrus aroma, but absolutely no strawberry. Unclear redbrown colour with dimunuitive beige head. Acid flavour with yeast and perhaps some hidden strawberries. Sweet aftertaste.

gloriously thick flavor of sugar, not strawberry. Sweet and thick, hardly any sourness or vinegar flavor. Bottle from Knightly Spirits, Orlando.

Bottle courtesy of Swoopjones! Thanks! Pours a cloudy ruddy orange with a thin white head. Nose is imitation strawberry syrup - not quite strawberry ice cream level, more like strawberry twizzlers or runts. Past that sweet strawberry is maybe a bit of lambic acidic character and a hint of must. Flavor is imitation strawberry, a bit of lemon. More funk than I expected but it’s really overwhelmed by the cloying sweetness. I’ve had sodas that were less sweet than this. Still, better than expected - I’d probably take this over the sweetened lindemans lambics if offered the choice - at least this shows some authentic character.

Bottle, 3.5%. Cloudy dark red brown colour. Good strawberry flavour, sweet and citric. Like many other fruit beers, but more citric.

Bottle at Toncatchers. Thanks to Wetherel for bringing this. A reddish-brown pour with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity with strawberries. The taste is more of the same, but I’d think that the flavor is more like chemical strawberry extract rather than fresh berries. The mouthfeel is moderately full with lively carbonation. Overall: Not bad, just a bit too sweet for me.

bottle via wetherel at toncatcher’s recent tasting another one aquired for me, you rock buddy. Pours pinky with no head. Nose is certainly strawberry like jolly ranchers. Taste is sweet, strawberry, not bad and hella sweet.
