Each spring, we honor Cincinnati's historical nickname, "Porkopolis," by brewing a small batch of our favorite cream ale recipe, affectionally named "The Pig." In 2014, we decided to age The Pig with a strawberry infusion. The resulting beer was so fantastic, we knew we had to share it with beer drinkers everywhere! Strawberry Pig has a refreshingly light body and fruity finish that pairs particularly well with people, parties, and the thaw of spring.

Not offensive by any means but not my favorite. Good beer for a hot day and certainly better than a mass produced light lager but not quite as tasty as JAckie O’s cream ale.

Mild aroma of strawberry, with a hint of grain. Pours a clear, light straw with a dusting of white head. Light bodied, slightly sweet, with a touch of fruit in it. There's a bit of an earthy note in the finish. Overall, a decent spring/summer beer, but not one I'm going to look for again.

L: Surprisingly close to amber but just shy, this completely clear beer forms a bit of spritz at the top that hovers for a time and leaves little behind.
S: The strawberry is strong and even seems authentic. It comes off as fresh with a bit of malt lingering underneath.
T: The strawberry is strong in the taste but comes side by side with a flavor of spent grains. The strawberry starts it, then it gets a little tart while some of the fruity sweetness lingers in the back of the throat, then transitions to cereal grains.
F: It is light-bodied as expected but gets thinner as it goes. It has a good crispness and stays lively without being too heavily carbonated.

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly died down, leaving lots of specks of bubbles on the surface and a thin ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of strawberry candy are present in the nose.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste has the types of flavors you would expect from a strawberry, but without any associated sweetness. There are underlying notes of biscuity malts.
M: It feels light-bodied and a little creamy and smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is quite easy to drink and the strawberry aromas and flavors help to lend a bit of complexity to a beer that might normally be bland. The only drawback is that the strawberry aromas and flavors seemed to be artificial.

Poured from a can into a Dogfish Head glass. Pale gold in color. Slightly hazy. About a finger a find white head with average retention. I definitely get strawberries on the nose. Lots of strawberries and a little bit of apple.
Light body with a taste that doesn't quite match the nose. It's surprisingly tart up front with sour apple notes. The tartness mellows across the palate and a bit of lemony hop character comes on towards the back. Finishes dry. Quite appetizing and thirst-quenching. Nice and refreshing on a mild summer afternoon. Might need to have another...
