Hey pal, this ain't just some sweet little thang. This fierce, frosted goddess is none other than Strawberry Shortcake, a righteous imperial wheat ale brewed with just enough whole strawberries and fragrant vanilla beans to temper its ferocious nature. So beer bros, take heed: it's time to hail to the queen, baby.

Draft Extreme Beer Fest 2016. Hazy golden in color with particles floating around in the liquid. Aroma is really awesome, pie crust malt, bread and light notes of strawberry. The short cake really works in the aroma.

I had hopes for this based off the aroma. Unfortunately the strawberry comes off in an artificial Strawberry taffy nuance. Sickly sweet strawberry. The body is medium leaning on full from malts and maybe yeast. Damn, it’s just overly fake sweetness. This is the first beer I have had from this brewer that was a complete swing and a miss. Strike three, take the bench.

Keg at CBC CG - London. Pours hazy pink-gold with no head. Light lemony acidity in the nose, light strawberry and cream, shortbread. Light-medium sweet flavor, mellow lactic twang, strawberry, lemon, tangerine. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Tart citrus finish, an interesting strawberry shortcake character. Nice concept beer.

Tap at CBC CG. It pours cloudy orange - amber with no head. The nose is fresh, sour strawberry, raspberry pip, fruit pie, bakewell tart, shortbread, clove and such like. The taste is crisp, tart, sour strawberry, jamminess, raspberry pip, fruit pie, marzipan, clove and mild alcohol with a smooth finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Actually works quite nicely. Hides abv very well.
