Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a near clear gold with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of strawberry with some light sweet grains and a touch of bread. Flavor is full of rich strawberry that combine nicely with a light sweet grain.

tap - Pours gold with a mild aroma of berries that come out more as it warms. The flavor is surprisingly well hopped, more than I expected for a fruity blonde ale. The strawberries are in there though fairy subtle at first. They linger in the finish. An okay beer.

on tap-pours a big tignt white head that laces and cloudy straw/pink color. Aroma is mild strawberry. Taste is tart/sour strawberry, light malt, some sweet peaks through at the finish. Better as it gets to cellar temperature. OK effervescence.

Pour is a golden with a large fizzy head. Aroma is ok with some bready malts and a nice fresh picked strawberry. Flavor is rather dull with a biscuit malt and a ever so faint amount of the strawberry. This is the second beer i’v had made from strawberries and in both the fruit just does not come to the fore front. Oh well this brewer makes outstanding other beers.
