12 oz bottle. Clear, dark ruby with a light pink head. Heavy tart strawberry nose. Medium body, light lacing. Intensely sweet strawberry flavors, somewhat tart finish. If you’re in the mood for sweet, it’s right on. Actually, pretty good strawberry flavor. Borders on not being beer, but damn tasty.

Slightly cloudy amber with fluffy white head. Smells of strawberries, apricot hops and malt honey. Taste is very fruity and sweet (shocking!). A bit too sugary sweet in the flavor for my liking. Decent mouthfeel - very carbonated and yet syrupy as well.

Clear amber in color with a two finger thick bubbly head that goes down quickly. Aroma of strawberry jam and possibly bubble gum. Very bubbly body. Not quite as strawberry in flavor as in aroma.

Orange to reddish color that is slightly hazed with an offwhite head. Smell is big on tart and sweet strawberries with just the slightest hint of funky yeast. Taste is fairly sweet with a mild tartness to accompany. Finishes a bit syrupy with a slight malty flavor along with the sweet strawberry. Nice carbonation with slightly viscous syrupy body. A bit artificial tasting and slightly cloying, but enjoyable as a sweet soda-like beverage more so than what I typically expect from a beer.

Not as sour as I would like, but clearly recognizable as a lambic. There is some light barnyard in the aroma and flavor. A nice looking, red beer with pink foam. A little sweet, but not as sweet as Chapeau or Lindemans. A nice fruit beer.

Københavnske Øldage 07. Bottle. This beer has a nice color like homemade strawberry juice. Both flavour and aroma has the notes of a nice, homemade strawberry juice, sweet like strawberries with sugar, but it also has a nice berry acidity. It would be great as an aperitif or with a suitable desert. Uncomplicated and charming, easy to drink... 2151

35.5 cl bottle. Appearance: light red brown, clear, with little beige head. Aroma: sweet and fruity with some hops hided behind strawberry effervescent powder. Flavor and Palate: fruity strawberry effervescent powder, sweet, with a medium bitter finish. Nicely balanced later you discover the Geuze notes in this beer. After my thoughts for strawberry jam it finished with a dry and slightly bitter hop aroma. Overall a fine example of a fruit lambic.
