Bottle at share, courtesy of Doug. Light pink pour with small wispy head. Aroma is strawberries, tart. Taste brings a nice sweet tartness, strawberries again. Silky feel.

Even though this looks as I was expecting, it's not the most glamorous beer. A muddled pink grapefruit color, vibrant and beautiful in its own right, but definitely something only it's parents would truly appreciate. Capped by a lightly pink hued white foam that settles slowly into a soft sloped beach around the edge, and faint coverage in the middle.
The aroma gives off what I can only describe as a strawberry popsicle. Slushee perhaps, with a sourness that gives off the impression of pink lemonade. Digging deep, the slightest cereal grain lays the foundation.
Pink lemonade takes charge in the flavor. Strawberry preserves take a back seat. A light caramel grain sweetness backdrop rounds out the flavors quite well.
Not so much sour as it's just a little tart. Well rounded though as it cuts through the sweet elements. There is no way to tell this is an elevated abv beverage as it is so clean and smooth thanks to a soft carbonation and light body.
This is a fun beer. Good flavors, great feel, just not what I would expect as an anniversary beer from the magnificent mind and brewing legend John Harris. Having said that, I would easily indulge in another as this is the first beer with strawberries that I've actually enjoyed. Cheers.
