Found an older rate, notes from 8/12/18. Can from Tasty Beverage Co., Ommegang glass pour. Canned 6/18/18. Cloudy, grapefruit-colored brew. Thin, pasty white, failing head. Smells of generic melon, grass, wheat, yeast. Maybe something hinting at guava, but it’s probably just the color. Couldn’t tell that this was made with strawberries. Creamy, pasty, pasta water texture; not pleasant. Does taste faintly guava-ish, maybe like watermelon rind, but it’s mostly just goopy, melted carbs & water. A touch of bitterness & a light sparkle tricks me into third & fourth sip of porridge. Up the bubbles & maybe it’s worth a shot. 6/7/27 rate: 3.1. Single can from Appalachian for more than it should be. Mojito glas @home. Looks like Rosé with a better head. Orange-y, peachy pink & absolutely clear. Earthy, sticky, raisin & Fruit Roll Up nose. So hard to do Strawberry anything. Heavy sliced toast flavor upfront. Black pepper & some bittersweet strawberry perfume. Light tartness, weak herbal hops, old malt/musty, cheap wine. Should probably be a 12oz. Strawberry wine is dope, this isn't. Opinion: Just cut Brutus half & half with some local sweet strawberry wine & carb the hell out of it. This one isn't working.

On tap at Salud Beer Shop, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, some tropical fruits, and light lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with herbal fruits, tropical fruits, and earthy notes. Earthy and fruity. Decent.

Pour is a hazy pink/peach with a small white head. Aroma is kind of weird. It has a bit of fruit but also a bit of burning. Flavor is some plastic with a bit of fruit tartness after the swallow. Maybe the beer is only good fresh from the source b/c this can is either infected or the beer needs to be drank ultra fresh. The canned on date is 5/18/18 so it is not old at all.

Draft pour at the brewery. Pours a lovely hazy peach and pink color with a small white head that dissipates to a ring. Strawberry and fresh cut pear aromas with some mild leaf notes. Young strawberry notes, but very elegantly done...not overly tart or sweet like other takes. Just a lovely balance. Smooth texture, almost like a juice bar drink. Lingering light Belgian yeast character, strawberry, stone fruit and melon. Fantastic.

Draft at Churchkey during Savor Week. Hazy golden amber color, off white head. Aroma of fresh strawberry. Taste is sweet berries, subtle pepper. Nice.

Draft at Churchkey for the The Southern Craft Brewer Night: Burial, Fonta Flora, Great Raft, Parish & Wicked Weed. Pour was a hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light fruit notes. Creamy character. Fruit preserve jam. Tasty.

Tap. Pours hazy peachy orange, medium off white head, good lacing. Aroma is really strawberry, lactose, hints of grass, honey, line zest. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, loads of strawberry, nice malty backbone. Medium body.
