Bottle. This stuff is nasty. Aroma is watery, weak with a tad of strawberries. Flavor is, you guessed it, watery, weak with a tad of strawberries. Color was gold with just a little pink.

Slightly hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a thinnish, barely coating the top, pure white head. Aroma of mellow malt, a splash of alcohol, some soft tart notes and perhaps the smallest dose of strawberries or just pure berries recognisable - or not. Light-bodied; Super tart flavour with not much to support it, aside from a touch of malt, a dash of hay and flowers and some light sugars with not much else going on. Aftertaste is quite easy-drinking with just a mellow sweet and tart flavour propped up on the very malt backbone and showing some of the softer sides of wheat, yeast and the tart sweet fruit. Overall, a very mellow and soft beer throughout with only a dash of soft and sweet flavours, but more of the light malt, easy-drinking profile of a cream ale. Not a horrible beer nor worth passing up, but also, not worth going out of the way to get. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Lidl in Manassas, Virginia on 13-July-2019 for US$4,99/six pack, sampled at home here in Washington on 26-September-2019.

From tap. Pours slight hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is grainy and slight fruity. Malty, grainy. Classic cream ale, vague strawberry note. Medium dry and slight fruity far finish.

On tap at P&P Charleston. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is light malt & hints of strawberry, light body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light strawberry and light malt.

Whoops, almost thought this was the old CSA! Pop top for a mild pungent tart veggie perfume. Look is almost clear pale with thin white head. Decent co2 on the uptake with a mild friendly, perhaps slightly above average enjoyability factor compared to other fruit beers of this genre. Friendly lager finish.

12 oz. bottle. Pale gold color, with a medium, off-white, bubbly head. The aroma is weak nondescript berries, pine, flowers, and hay. A little sweet, acidic, and light, off-putting, sour aftertaste. Light to medium, sharp, and sticky. This is a surprisingly unpleasant beer. Wouldn’t recommend.

Mostly clear medium yellow body with a generous white head that slips away quickly. Grassy, grainy aroma. No strawberry that I can detect. The flavor is lightly tart, lightly sweet. Again, no strawberry. So so blonde ale.

Cardboard, stale malt, maybe a little strawberry. Clear golden, medium fizzy head. Strawberry and stale malt. Fizzy and kind of harsh. Now brewed at Foothills, but still tastes like the old Carolina Beer Co. Meh, fruit beer.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Huntersville, NC. Pours a clear amber color with a thin fizzy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of grainy malts, strawberries and a bit of caramelized sugar. The taste is tart strawberries and not much else. Faint graininess. Thin bodied. Refreshing, but not terribly exciting.
