We have captured the mouth-watering summer flavours of strawberries by cold pressing the berries to extract their juice. Cold pressing takes time, but it preserves the sweet, vibrant flavours of freshly picked strawberries and makes juice that is far superior to mass produced cocentrates. We then blend this juice with a special beer brewed only with British malt, hops, yeast and water.

Quite sweet, like a strawberry cream soda. Cant pick out the base beer, but i can really taste the strawberry juice. Very sweet aftertaste, takes away from the strawberry. No tartness to speak of, just boozy juice.

Pours a clean amber-rosé with a slight pinkish head, decent lace. Very sweet nose with strawberry notes. Syrupy mouthfeel, but on the wet side, which helps a bit. Sweet taste with a litlle milder strawberry finish. The strawberries are alright, but these Melville’s brew are way too sweet.

33cl bottle. Pours an orangey pink with a decent layer of lace. The nose has some fresh strawberries with an deep earthy note. The taste has strawberries & cream. The palate is light in body and texture with a slightly too sickly finish. Overall, the nose was the best part and the finish

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours clear pink with a lively, white cream head. Poured over ice, as per the suggestion on the label. Big artificial strawberry aroma. Kind of like regurgitated artificial strawberry, in fact. Overly sweet flavor, slightly syrupy artificial strawberries, sugar, light tartness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. Lightly sticky finish, just all sugary, unnatural strawberries and very little else. This is not a good beer.
