Pours a light amber with a slightly offwhite head. Has a sweet fruity aroma. Flavor is sweet with strawberry but does not have much in the way of malt flavors with which the strawberry could complement.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sugar, candy sweetness, strawberry, and a light citrus note. Its a decent fruit beer.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy orange amber with a large, frothy off-white head. Aroma is pretty much strawberry. Sort of medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is slightly tart strawberry over malt. Refreshing. Interesting. There’s bitter in the finish - seed or skin? Seems to end astringent.

Not a bad fruit beer. Yellow pink in color with a frothy white head. Aroma of strawberries with some sourness. Taste is sweet. Sugary with a strawberry finish.

Not looking forward to this (or the cherry), as I don’t like organic sam smiths, or melbourn brothers...please may it not be pink...good, only a shade of peach, foamy white head atop. Aroma of cotten candy, sugars, and a slight funk, with a bit of (as another rater said) pancake batter. Also some kiwi. Taste is like a kiwi-strawberry smoothie with cotton candi...and a gawd awful aftertaste. The beer is good until then, and then not...Creamy and bubbly. Okay for what I was expecting...

550ml: Sweet aroma of strawberry. Poured amber/orange in color with a small to medium-sized tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Very sweet flavor. Tastes of strawberry. Medium body. Tingly, texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, strawberry finish.

Pours a pink tinted light amber with a tall foamy beige head that has great retention and leaves a little lacing. Aroma is straw, grass, freshly halved strawberries, caramel, strawberry syrup, apple cider and pancake batter. Flavor is heavy on strawberry juice throughout, there some orange slice with a little rind left on, lime, strawberry hard candy, dusty straw, wheat and sweet barley. Finish is wheat and tart streawberries. Palate is medium thickness creamy and well carbonated with a finish that has a slightly dusty feel to it like some hefes, not bad. Overall this stuff is just too sweet and fruity, without having enough "beerness" to pull it off. I would put it along side some of the Lindemans lineup as a beer to convert people who only drink wine coolers. Fairly tasty but strawberry just masks everything.

pours red, and smells and tastes like strawberry soda. this one is most similar to a italian soda, and is to be enjoyed on a hot day or by your girlfriend who hates beer...nothing terrible, but too candyish...
