Taster at brewery. Pale yellow golden pour, hazy, skin of head. Aroma and taste are very light citrus with light lacto notes. Sweet and zesty, although comes across as weak.

Look: It pours hazy orange-yellow. It has a white head with excellent head retention.
Smell: There is a low strawberry aroma. There is a very low cucumber note.
Taste: There are grainy sweet notes with strawberry and citrus notes in support. As the beer warms, some stone fruit flavors emerge. There is a very low dankness in the flavor.
Feel: It has a creamy body that has a medium body. It has a citrus and strawberry finish.
Overall, an interesting addition of strawberries takes a bit of the dankness away.

Cloudy amber with a tall white head.
Smells like c-hops. Scent of medicine. Smell of phenol. Faint scent of pine.
Starts out neutral in all respects. Faint strawberry. Doesn't taste like much.
Mouthfeel is average.
Overall it is a disappointment.

Can poured into a Knee Deep Brewing Co snifter
A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Tropical and stone fruit, nice hit of strawberry, zesty citrus, a touch of pine, crackery malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
T: Fruity, strawberry comes through nicely, plenty of tropical and stone fruit, as well as some citrus, passion fruit, pineapple, papaya, apricot, peach, mango, and guava, tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit, a touch of pine, crackery malt, and a touch of sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation
O: Strawberry can be a tricky fruit to work with, but it came through really well in this one. Fun tasty IPA.

An IPA brewed with strawberries. Partook of this at the brewery and ended up grabbing a four pack to go. Nice auburn color with a decent head. Nice strawberry and floral aroma but not overpowering. Taste has a decent amount of ripe strawberry flavor with a good dose of hop bite.
I thought this might be gimmicky but this actually tastes pretty darn good and refreshing.
