The strawberry fields of North Carolina are the inspiration for this amber-colored ale made with the finest malts and hops and enhanced with real strawberries. The result is a refreshing, full-bodied, crisp ale that bursts on your palate with just the right hint of sweetness for balance.

Sample at OH! Growlers! Tasting on 01/31/2012: Bottle from a BBQ place at the Charlotte airport. The beer is a pale orange color with a thin white head that dissolves quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Sweet strawberry and malt in the nose. Light body with a strawberry Creme Saver flavor. Some malt in the mix too. The finish is almost cloyingly sweet with a strawberry aftertaste. Slightly below average overall. I have mixed feelings as this is the beer that put me in the Ratebeer Top 100 for the first time ever.

Bottle from Topsail Island. Very dark reddish brown in color, no head to speak of. Taste has plenty of strawberry, on the bitter side, with slight sourness, but not enough. Not much sweetness, which suits me fine. Interesting.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Triangle Plaza, Raleigh, NC. Pours an orange tinted amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Slightly hazy. Aroma is candy strawberry with a bit of a cheesiness and very faint grass. Taste is lightly bready with very faint toast, strawberry cheesecake, faint grassiness. Thin and slightly watery. This is the start of a good beer, but it’s too thin and not well balanced.

Bottle at the Charlotte airtport. Very nice strwberry aroma, I was expecting something artificial but it is not. Pale yellow like any pale lager. Good tingly palate. Flavor is also not artificial as I was expecting. Not bitter at all. Friendly finish, one of the better fruit beers I’ve tasted. Good session beer for a fruity. Pleasantly surprized!
