Poured into a Dogfish Head pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a one finger white head with good retention and lacing and active carbonation. Aroma of bready malt and fresh strawberries, as advertised. Flavor follows with strawberry juice in a background of bready malt with a hint of biscuit. Finishes with residual mild strawberry, biscuit malt and a slight grassy hop bitterness. Medium bodied. Interesting take on a blonde ale, the malt and strawberry flavors are almost perfectly melded, although the final combined flavor is not really noteable. Pleasant to drink and exactly what is promised from the can, a nice blonde ale with good strawberry aroma and flavors. Destihl just came into our market and I'll be giving each of their beers a try.

Really overcarbonated. Not sure if this is intentional or not but its not a pleasant experience.

Don't really taste or smell much strawberry. It's drinkable but I'm not sure how this one any medals unless I just got a bad batch or it sat in the warehouse awhile before I got it. Tastes and mouth feel reminded me of a saison with a stronger hay aroma. It has a lot of things going on and definitely out of the norm; I can see where some people may like it.
