Bottle from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Unattractive chunky sediment upon pouring. Aroma is non-artificial strawberries with candied fruit and strawberry milkshake. Flavour is sweet and a bit sugary with solid but not overpowering habanero heat. Body is medium. Not as bad as I expected, but the combination of sweet strawberries and chili burn is another example of 'craft beer' taken too far off the main roads.

Big foam party. Smells like a ton of strawberry candy. Looks a weird murky orange brown. Quite high on the carb. Taste is a bit soft and sweet strawberry first, followed by the habanero. Medium to fairly hot. Flavours are very flat, unfortunately.

oranje met witte kraag, maar er komen ook direct enorme gistvlokken mee het glas in, dit is wat minder, aroma van sinaasappel, Belgische gist, zoet, siroop, alcohol, mandarijn. Smaken zijn zoet, alcoholisch, scherpe habanaro's maar niet extreem, siroop, perzikken op sap uit blik, sinaasappel. gist, scherp, vanille, fruitig, matige body, lage co2, pittige afdronk en brand lang na op de lippen.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2018. Pours a near clear amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has strawberry, vanilla and earthy grains with a hint of pepper underlying. Flavor has sweet strawberry and vanilla with a bit of sweet grain and a hint of spice.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours very hazy/cloudy/murky deep orange/amber/light copper color with a 1 finger dense off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big juicy strawberries, habanero peppers, fruit skin/seeds, pear, red apple, melon, caramel, brown sugar, honey, wheat, white bread, light herbal/grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of strawberries, peppers, fruity yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy strawberries, habanero peppers, fruit skin/seeds, pear, red apple, melon, caramel, brown sugar, honey, wheat, white bread, light herbal/grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy bitterness, pepper spiciness, and berry tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy strawberries, habanero peppers, fruit skin/seeds, pear, red apple, melon, caramel, brown sugar, honey, wheat, white bread, light herbal/grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, peppers, fruity yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitter/spiciness and fruit tartness balance; with no cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and fruit tartness. Medium carbonation and body; very smooth, creamy/silky/grainy, lightly sticky, and slightly acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7.7%, with minimal lingering pepper heat after the finish. Overall this is a delicious fruit beer. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, peppers, fruity yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the minimally bitter/spicy finish. Mostly American wheat beer on base style. Great presence of juicy strawberries and pepper fruit flavors; with balanced malts and fruity American wheat yeast. Mild earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Very impressive vs what I expected initially, not overdone on peppers with minimal heat.
