Brewed in collaboration by Toppling Goliath and Drekker Brewing, Lil' Strawb is a sour ale with attitude. Refreshing, sweet, and a lil' kick of tartness.

Tip Tap draught, 4/11/26.
Is that real strawberry? Definitely debatable. Definitely not whole fruit or the best puree character I've ever smelled, that's for sure. Smells rather sugary, waxy, with no bright acidity.
Sugary and cheap tasting with a sluggish, weird texture and strangely low acidity. It's too sweet, there's not enough tartness and the fruit doesn't seem authentic at all.

Lots of strawberry for sure. Comes off fairly tangy and a little cough syrupy, both in flavour and in loom. Clear pink pour with ok head. Tart finish. A litte more sour than most Drekker smoothie beers--more of an actual beer, to a degree. 77767
