Can. A- Strawberry, yellow cake. A- Dark red color, clear liquid, light pink head. T- Cake, strawberry, wheat. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Not nearly as good as cherry. The flavor is sort of in line with the expectation but it could use some tuning.

Strawberry, vanilla, shortbread malt, and straw aroma. Ruby red with large pink head. Moderately sweet strawberry, vanilla, shortbread/sugar cookie malt, moderately sour citric acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Nice body and balance.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep red with a white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has creamy sweet grains with a good amount of tart strawberry underlying. Flavor has creamy sweet grains and vanilla with a bit of tart strawberry growing through the finish.

Opened the can and got a blast of strawberry. Both Aromas and flavors are very similar with lots of strawberry, backed with vanilla and cookies. The balance between sweet tarte and a hint of bitter is just right. Hard to not like this beer.
