After having the blueberry and raspberry jam, I was looking forward to this. However, quite disappointing and its quite artificial in nature, just as I feared with the jam series but was pleased. Not bad in the nose but he taste is something else. Yes, fake strawberry flavor with what seems to be cream candy on the followup. Below average fruit beer fer sher. Quite low on the fruit beer list.

Weird beer. Aroma is strawberries a little bit natural plus something else. Flavor is like nose and it's a little bit tart at first but then a little bit creamy and smooth and and again something else weird. Can't really say that I like it just barely drinkable.

12 oz. can. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Aroma of strawberry soda, vanilla notes. Taste is strawberry, vanilla notes, floral elements, potpourri, cleaning solution. Weird. Finish is sweet.

Pour is a murky yellow-red with a large white head. Aroma is strawberry. It does not smell artificial but I can be fooled easily. Flavor is a little tart with some berry flavor. Finish is a bit creamy which gives this a slick mouthfeel. I was prepared not to like this but for a gimmick beer it was alright. I did not get the plastic taste I usually get with strawberry beers.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 2/17/2018. Pours lightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of strawberries, vanilla, cream, wheat, shortbread, cake batter, and light herbal. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of strawberries, vanilla, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of strawberries, vanilla, cream, wheat, shortbread, cake batter, and light herbal. Very mild herbal bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of strawberries, vanilla, cream, wheat, shortbread, cake batter, and light herbal on the finish for a while. Nice robustness and balance of strawberries, vanilla, and pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from bitter/tartness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a nice fruited wheat ale. All around nice robustness and balance of strawberries, vanilla, and pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly tart/bitter finish. A little underwhelming, but it tastes exactly like the dessert as promised. Great balance of strawberries, vanilla, and cake/shortbread flavors; touch of hops to balance the sweetness. A nicely enjoyable, unique, and well made offering.

Can. A- Strawberry, fruity, lime, straw. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Strawberry, lime, sharp, straw, medicinal, artificial. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- Blueberry Jam, Raspberry Jam, and Key Lime Pie are all fruit forward dessert beers Tallgrass has done well lately. This was on the case on Strawberry Shortcake. Tasted more like a Strawberry or Cherry Limeade with a very bad aftertaste. Just not good at all.

12oz can. Slightly hazy orange-tan body. Big, frothy, off-white head. Unappealing candy store artificial strawberry vanilla aroma. Not that removed from Strawberry soda. Insipid, sweet. Drinkable but would not buy again.
