Sprecher Strawberry Wheat

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

Hazed pinkish grapefruit in color with a jagged, grey ice froth on top. Aroma revels in strawberry shortcake and plastic squeeze toys. A hint of cherry amaretto banana cheesecake keeps things surprisingly and desirably aromatically interesting. Sweet strawberry cloves and fluffy amaretto cream cheese danishes foray in the flavor. Cotton candy flavored dum-dum suckers with an effervescent feel and flavor in kind to cherry 7-up. No carbonation sting but rather a sweet, waxy glide across the palate post sip. Medium bodied and balanced more than I’d bargained for, finishing with cherry cheesecake pieces in a custard filled waffle cone.

16oz bottle. Hmmm, how to describe the color of this one. Poured a medium and cloudy pinkish / reddish color with an averaged sized pinkish head. Aromas of strawberries, sugar, with bananas and wheat in the background. Tastes of sugar, strawberries, and all around berries. Sweet. I think this is a mistake and is actually one of their specialty sodas...

Picked up a four-pack at Discount Liquors in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy dirty apricot orange with a light pink head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and ring and spotty lacing. Aroma of sweetened yeast, a hint of red berries and some stale General Mills’ Franken Berry breakfast cereal. Taste is chalky yeast with artificial strawberry flavor added. Medium bodied and some infused carbonation. Finish is spritzy strawberry tart with a yeasty berry wheat aftertaste. Can hardly wait until this one gets a retired label.

Pours a glowing pinkish bronze with a small, clingy-lacing white head. Mild aroma of sugary strawberries, with a touch of banana and German yeast. Body starts with a fruity sugary flavor with a strange, almost oily palate, with light carbonation along with a more bitter, earthy finish. It actually smells pretty decent, but something is definitely off in the flavor. Probably fermented with too much dextrose and not enough maltose.

Wow. I was really excited to see this new addition to the Sprecher section of my local liquor store. I quickly grabbed a bottle, went home, opened it, and... Well, the drive home was fun at least. The first scent of this beer was artificial sugary acid berry. Tasted like those strawberry candies with the jelly inside. You know, the ones with the wrapper that your grandma loves because it looks like a strawberry! Now imagine dozens of those jelly filled stale candies are melted down and mixed into a brew of skunked Keystone Ice and some grass clippings. That would be a bit better than this beer. Please, Sprecher, stick to putting out your usual great beers.

WHY!?!?!?! What would inspire a man to create such a vulgar brew!?!? Bright neon pink in color with no doubt copious amounts of some foul artificial extract haphazardly thrown in. The nose is a harsh astringent artificial extract aroma with a foreboding milky presence. Wha? Strawberry Nestle Quick dominates throughout. I also get some sort of odd lactose in here as well. Ugh, I can sense the beer gods have been angered by this foul pestilence that has been forced upon the beer drinking land......

Odd-looking pink color. Slightly hazy, thin bubbly pinkish white head. Initial aroma is okay with banana, wheat, light strawberry. But that is quickly followed by fake strawberry flavors, reminiscent of some sort of kids cereal. Flavor is messed up... fake sweet strawberry, wheat, watery sugar. Way to go with the sugar and fake flavor additions. One interesting thing is that I’ve heard people who would be into this type of crap complain about this beer.

pours a bit pinkish in color w/ a nice pink head fairly thck decent lacing but doesn’t really look appetising. that strawberry nesquick powdered piss we had when we were kids plus no wait that’s about it. Palate is avg some good carbonation. Taste isn’t so bad. Lots of cereal and fake strawberries. Maybe strawberry captain crunch. Not a good beer but doesn’t really taste bad. Unfortunatelly the more of this I drink the worse it tastes... then it gets a shitty sour cereal w/ fake strawberry taste... I don’t want no mo
