Pretty decent for a strawberry witbier. The berry is quite subtle, only coming through on the ver back end with a slight fruity tartness. Otherwise, a straightforward white ale, with notes of clove, grass, and a little vanilla, and a soapy flourish on the finish. Not bad.

Mild strawberry aroma. Taste is slightly sweet wheat beer, very mild strawberry, a little funk at the end. Some citrus flavor.
