Bottle courtesy of Nisse666. Pours dark brown with a rather small mocha head that doesn’t leave much trace while dissipating. Smell is sweet with lots of dark roast coffee, green chili, bitter chocolate, roasted malts, wood, vanilla, smoked chili and moist soil. Taste is sweet, bitter and earthy with sweet dark bread, dark roast coffee, vanilla, bitter chocolate, resinous wood, roasted malts, moist soil and green chili. Mouthfeel is round, tiny tart and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate and moist soil. Coffee and green chili aroma and taste is too prominent.

750ml bottle. Poured a pretty clear yellow-amber color with a pretty large white head, lots of carbonation in this one. Aroma was a ton of tart strawberries, with some light sweet malt characteristics.
The name pretty much summed this one up. It was very refreshing to me, light and a bit like what I’d expect a cider to be like, perhaps a bit too much like what you’d get from a gluten free beer, but I felt the Strawberries did this one good. Probably best on a sunny, hot day.

I believe this is the base beer for the Virginia Blackberry and Strawberry beers, and frankly the base beer is much better. Pours a hazy lemon color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bread, spice and herbal notes. The taste is wheat, citrus, spice, floral notes and herbal hops. Medium bodied, creamy texture. Nice beer.
