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.

Destihl Strawberry Blonde Ale has a thick, fizzy, crackly, white head, a semi-clear, bubbly, gold appearance, and some fairly heavy lacing left on the sides of the glass. The aroma is of strawberry, bitter strawberry leaves, vegetable matter, and white bread. Taste is of sweet, bitter, acidic, strawberries, white bread, and some strawberry leaves. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy, and Destihl Strawberry Blonde Ale finishes semi-dry, fruity, and decently drinkable. If you're into fruit beers (and, I'm not), you might really like it. RJT
