It's not as good as the other ones, but it's good.

No 'Pie' in words on my label but the lady is holding one in the picture, so same beer. Drank at my daughters place in California on 11th Dec 2017. Pours pink and clear, no head what so ever. Certainly does what it says on the bottle. Intense strawberry aroma and taste with a faint sour/bitterness from the rhubarb, very sweet though, even with that mini rhubarb tartness.

Bottle. A- Jolly Ranchers, strawberry. A- Pink color, clear liquid, no head. T- Sweet, artificial fruit, strawberry, jolly ranchers. P- Light body, average texture, high carbonation, sweet finish. O- More like jolly rancher infused vodka than beer. I loved the root beer and cream ale but this was pretty bad in terms of intentions. Nothing like Strawberry Rhubarb pie. Strawberry is there but candy like.

Bottle. Strawberry/rhubarb syrup aroma. Pink - moderate but very short-lasting head. Strong sweet-tart strawberry-rhubarb flavor with a hint of bitter hay flavor. Cloying - almost like drinking snow-cone syrup.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/29/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear light pink color with a foamy pink head that drops to nothing nearly instantly. No lacing on the glass, and a good amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart strawberries, rhubarb, vanilla, and candy sugar. Nice aromas with good balance of fruit, vanilla, and sugary sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart strawberries, rhubarb, vanilla, and candy sugar. Light fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of juicy/lightly tart strawberries, rhubarb, vanilla, and candy sugar on the finish for a while. Nice robustness and balance of fruit, vanilla, and sugary sweetness; with a good malt/tartness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from carbonation and fruit tartness. High carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/foamy, and lightly syrupy mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.9%. Overall this is a pretty good fruit/spiced beer. All around good robustness and balance of fruit, vanilla, and sugary sweetness; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; thanks to the effervescent carbonation. Hit all of my expectations, tastes exactly as advertised. A nicely enjoyable offering.

12 oz bottle, thanks brenn79. Looks like I’m in for a treat. Aroma of berries; smells like a wine cooler. Pours clear pink with no head; looks like a wine cooler. Tastes sweet and a bit tart; tastes like a wine cooler, and nothing like a strawberry rhubarb pie or any kind of beer. If it walks like a duck, etc, etc. What a joke.

Bottle: Crystal clear pink with a busy, fizzy white head that’s gone before the pour is complete......actually sort of cool and violent. Candy strawberry, sugar aroma. Tart strawberry, sugar taste.....didn’t pick up much vanilla....but, in my defense, the taste buds have surrendered at this point...I feel like I’ve just allowed a whole sleeve of Sweet-Tarts to dissolve under my tongue. An Alco-Pop the likes of which I have not seen since the heady 80’s days of Fletcher and Oakes Wine Coolers......the flavour isn’t bad, but it’s ridiculously sweet and a far cry from anything resembling a beer.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours mauve with no head. Aroma does suggest strawberry. Med body, nearly. Flavor is rather sweet, tho there’s something like a rhubarb tartness. Flavors seem to be strawberry and rhubarb. Not bad really, but not sure it’s "beer". :)
