Sprecher Strawberry Wheat

Formerly brewed at Sprecher Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Glendale, Wisconsin USA

16 oz bottle from discount liqours in milwaukee. Hazy light red-amber with tiny pink head. Very frutiy aroma with very sweet aroma. Flavor is like when you let a strawberry icee sit in a hot car too long and then you go to take a sip and all you get is dilluted syrup... yeah that’s pretty much what it tastes like, also... some wheat. Body is creamy but syrupy and light to med bodied. i was looking forward to this beer and was utterly dissapointed.

I used to feel I would never dislike a Sprecher product. I was very wrong. My wife and I thought this would be a nice refreshing beer. It was awful. I could not identify the Strawberry flavor. It was more like a medicine taste.

From the bottle this pours a pinkish amber with a modest white head. The aroma smells like a cheap strawberry perfume, if there is such a thing. (I hope not.) It tastes like strawberry cotton candy and has a light, tart twist at the end. A rather sub-par offering from an otherwise fine brewer.

Thank to skyview for sharing another hard to find Sprecher. Color of liquefied bazooka joe bubblegum. Smells of overripe strawberries. Sweet almost bubblegum flavor. Odd clash between wheat and strawberry flavors.

Thanks Skyview, kinda... Pink color. Good lord, it smells like bubblegum. Kind of tastes like it too, with a dry wheat and almost sickly sweet strawberry finish. It’s not nearly as rancid as I expected, but nothing I’d go for again.

Surprised this beer is rated so low, as it is freakin incredible. I could see how some may find it a little sweet, but I think the strawberry meshes perfectly with the wheat to form a wonderful brew. Sorry I only picked up one.

It is a pink beer, like a grapefruit cocktail, or HOTD Rose Cassis. Light, artificial fruit flavor with strawberry and sweet bubblegum. I would serve this over ice, and it isn’t so bad.

Looks like pink grapefruit. Smells like sugar candy with a hint of some more candy. Very odd and sweet with a hint of shortcake rolls. BTW the appearance gets a two because of the pink head.
