Van Diest Früli Strawberry Beer
Brouwerij Huyghe

330ml brown glass bottle. Bright red with a short-lived, effervescent, pink head. Brewed with strawberry concentrate and added fructose so very sweet. Smells and tastes of strawberry flavour hard candy. Medium/light body with high carbonation and a reasonable dry finish. Too garish and sweet for me but has a decent mouthfeel.

 

Well it's better than a light beer with the addition of fruit no rough adjacence but it does kind of taste like strawberry soda as others have described. Still for a a Belgian white fruit beer. It's pretty good. I wouldn't turn it down in the bar. Would I pay almost $6 for another bottle though? More than likely not

Picked up from the local beer store, this one is from a brown bottle. The beer is an amber-pink color with a fizzy off-white head. Strawberry aroma. It smells like a strawberry soda with an earthy undertone. The taste is sweet, with lots of fresh strawberry notes. Again, more soda-like than beer-like, but it is refreshing and interesting. Light in body, effervescent, sweet, and full of fruit.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a pinkish red color with a puffy head of pink colored foam. The head is fizzy, and fades rather fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is heavy of a strawberry jam aroma mixed with smells of bread and a bit of spice. Smells very much of toast and strawberry jam.
Taste – The taste begins with a very sweet strawberry flavor mixed with other light grain and cracker malt tastes. As the taste advances the strawberry jam flavor gets stronger, while a touch of yeast and hay join in, in the end, leaving one with a rather sweet strawberry toast taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium and heavier then would be anticipated for a 4.1 % brew, with a carbonation level that is higher. For the strawberry and bread flavors of the brew the slightly thicker body for the style is nice and makes for a more dessert like sipper.
Overall- Really tastes like toast and strawberry jam in liquid form. A fun dessert brew

From the bottle in a snifter via our friend from across the pond---Cheers Keith!
This unique brew pours a reddish pink color with a faintly pink head of foam that
settles to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and sports some light lacing. Nose of strawberry,
faint wheat, and candy sugar. Flavors follow the nose with strawberry, subtle white bread,
and light candy sugar. Mouth feel is medium light, medium light soft carbonation, and a
sweet finish.

Overall---like a strawberry New York Seltzer. Unique! Cheers!

Look :- Hot pink , light pink head that goes quickly but leaves decent lacing . Highly carbonated.

Smell :- Strawberries and a tiny hint of wheat .

Taste :- Sweet strawberry,then mild bitterness and way in the background a little wheat .

Mouth feel:- Fizzy , thick .

Overall:- It's got real fruit , not flavouring,and you can tell . No chemical taste at all . Really sweet, almost to pop sweetness but not quite, but tasty .

250 ml bottle, bought at Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.1%. Cloudy brownish red colour, large pinkish head. Intense sweet aroma and flavour of strawberry jam and artificial "strawberry" candy bars, kind of sickly and sugary. Not undrinkable though. If blindfolded, I would probably not have guessed that this was a beer at all. Not my cup of tea (uh, beer) this one, but people who love candy and strawberry soda might like it.
