I was expecting a much pinker beer, though there was definitely a red tint to this guy. Malty with a powerful fresh strawberry aroma, quite nice. The flavors start with strawberries, tart but with a light sweetness. There are also some secondary fruity cantaloupe flavors, very juicy. I love how this is going already! A definite yeast component makes sure you don't forget that this is still a beer, adding some flavor character. The carbonation is also spot-on, making the fruit flavors jump up and down in your mouth.
Is this beer a little one-dimensional? Yep. It starts to feel a little like a soda, sugary and not diet. However, the alcohol adds just the perfect little warming reminder that this is still a beer. Great body, terrific flavors. This is one of the best fruit beers I've ever had! Definitely check it out!

Sorry, I stopped reading after "strawberry."
Good thing or you'd have definitely been converted!
Sounds like a good one for the "oh, I don't drink beer" crowd? :)
Thank God you have a photo b/c I have another friend Vanessa that could have made that identical comment, but from within that crowd.
Yes, not too tart and great fruity flavors, perfect for that crowd. I could have used a little more tart bite, but I did like this a lot.
Yeah, I figured it was about time to get rid of the beer glass and have a real identity ;)
