Tap at the brewpub. Lightly fruity aroma. Lots of bright strawberry aroma with a bit of cherryish sweetness as well. No real wheaty character to speak of. Quite fresh-tasting nonetheless. Soft fruity finish with a lingering malty sweetness. It’s okay, but comes across a bit too sweet for my liking.

Aug 24, 2008 Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of wheat, and artificial strawberry. Powerful and almost overwhelming strawberry taste. Some wheat and a bit bitter. Decent.

Jul 10, 2008 Bottle, #386 Golden pour with decent head. Light aroma and flavor, not too much strawberry (which is probably good as I’m not too fond of fruit beers). Overall decent, nothing special.

Jun 30, 2008 Draft @ Paul’s Wedding: Poured a dark orange color with a ton of head (might have been a problem with tap, not sure). The aroma was of sweet strawberries. The flavor was a creamy strawberry that reminded me of a milk shake. I enjoyed this beer a lot.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle in Lancaster - Sampled from the wife’s beer. Foam off-white head, no real aroma and didn’t sense the strawberry that much. Rather weird sense on my tongue and the flavor was watery and dull. Kind of fizzy and flavorless, easy to drink but thats about it!

Jun 16, 2008 I’m surprised that this beer has gotten a lot of bad reviews. I thoroughly enjoy this beer.
The beer was on tap and the pour was light amber, with little head but a lively carbonation. The beer has a nice fruity aroma, with strawberry as the highlight. Little or no hop aroma.
The flavor is extremely balanced, with a slight sourness attributed to the strawberry, which blends nicely and is not over the top. This is a nice clean beer as you would expect from a lager, a nice clean yeast profile.
This beer is a session beer that goes down smoothly and I could easily drink several of them in one sitting.
