Starts off with an unexpected strong grainy sweetness before developing earthy, herbal green tea notes. Finishes with a mix of tea, white bread, and a slight floral bitterness. Good, but never offers up the spicy Noble hop fade you want in a pils.

Found an older rate, notes from 8/12/18. Can from Tasty Beverage Co., Ommegang glass pour. Canned 6/18/18. Cloudy, grapefruit-colored brew. Thin, pasty white, failing head. Smells of generic melon, grass, wheat, yeast. Maybe something hinting at guava, but it’s probably just the color. Couldn’t tell that this was made with strawberries. Creamy, pasty, pasta water texture; not pleasant. Does taste faintly guava-ish, maybe like watermelon rind, but it’s mostly just goopy, melted carbs & water. A touch of bitterness & a light sparkle tricks me into third & fourth sip of porridge. Up the bubbles & maybe it’s worth a shot. 6/7/27 rate: 3.1. Single can from Appalachian for more than it should be. Mojito glas @home. Looks like Rosé with a better head. Orange-y, peachy pink & absolutely clear. Earthy, sticky, raisin & Fruit Roll Up nose. So hard to do Strawberry anything. Heavy sliced toast flavor upfront. Black pepper & some bittersweet strawberry perfume. Light tartness, weak herbal hops, old malt/musty, cheap wine. Should probably be a 12oz. Strawberry wine is dope, this isn't. Opinion: Just cut Brutus half & half with some local sweet strawberry wine & carb the hell out of it. This one isn't working.

Single from Appalachian. No date, fuck you. Mojito glass @home. Extra frothy, pale gold pour. Bittersweet rind & flour nose. Slurping up the excess head & it's wowing me with mandarin. An actual slurp gets me onion, orange essence, dried oregano, popsicle stick, white toast, flour. Slight ghost punch of orange-onion acidity. Weak herbal finish. Empty body, bitter lemon water tingle. So diluted. Not worth saving 40 calories.

Can from Appalachian. Pint glass @home. Milko pour. Dirty orange-grey hazy. Smell is herbal at first, grassy hops, green strawberries, floral soap. Soapy, earthy, lingering veg & onion, unripe strawberries. Very regurgitive. Zero brightness. Medium acidity, bittergreen, bit of indigestion. Not this time.

Refrigerated pint can poured into a glass. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is spicy, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is wheat esters, bergamot, tea, and, coriander.

Tap. Black with a modest but lasting tan head. Roasty aroma with mocha, brine, some liquorice. Full, smooth body. Rich but not all that sweet - a lick of caramel with the mocha. Some iodine. Bitterness nags through. Good, great texture.

Another flower brew for this evening. Copper gold. Nose is florals and some vanilla. Tastes of yeast, vanilla and florals. Some booze is present. Lighter palate for style.
