Pours a beautiful gold colour with a thick 1 inch head. Definite strawberry on the smell. The taste adds the stereotypical “& Cream” I didn’t know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. This would be a great beer to have after supper with a piece of cake. Unique

473ml can served cold into a chalice. LCBO purchase for around $3.50 CDN. BB 06/02/2022
Appearance - Small half finger of loose white head is poured on top of a mostly clear golden brew. Moderate retention.
Smell - Strawberry Nesquick or something else. Clearly additive. Excessively sweetened strawberry yogurt might also be a similar aroma. I don't mind it, but smells artificial.
Taste - Initially underripe strawberries and cream, a small kick of sweetness, before a transition to a lager and then some bitterness. Flavors don't match up at all.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, really dry finish, not really creamy at all. Carbonation is ok.
Overall - Interesting concept and I'll give points for trying, but this isn't a good beer, the strawberries seem to be an adjunct and the strawberry and cream theme doesn't carry all the way through the taste and in the feel. Combined with chocolate though this could be an interesting stout, but otherwise glad to have only picked up the single can.

Not a winner. Mostly like fake liquid candy. Some beeriness, mostly plastic sweetness and a chemical character. Up in your face in a bad way. These guys usually do better. Disappointed.

473 mL can from Superstore; no packaging date that I can see. Served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear, brassy golden colour, capped off with nearly one finger of frothy white head that disintegrates within a minute or two. A tight, creamy collar remains in place, along with a few scant strands of far flung lace - it's nothing special to look at, but that strawberry vanilla milkshake aroma is uncanny. Not at all authentic or 'natural', of course - and ridiculously saccharine, to boot - but if you like McDonald's strawberry milkshakes, you'll love the smell of this.
Faintly grainy and doughy, but the strawberry flavouring comes through immediately and doesn't let up much. There's also a fair bit of lactose sweetness, and maybe a twinge of vanilla that my brain may or may not be imagining. Strawberry and lactose through to the finish, which adds a bit of earthy bitterness, followed by an unappealing chemical astringency - not good, but the sheer audacity of the strawberry flavouring and sugars helps mask that note somewhat. Light-ish in body, with middling carbonation that feels a bit spritzy on the surface of the tongue - however, it's a little slick, clinging to the palate after each sip. Drinkable, in the sense that I want to drink this glass as quickly as possible, so I can move onto something better.
Final Grade: 2.93, a crummy C grade. Old Tomorrow's Strawberries & Cream Ale is better than their peach-flavoured equivalent, but only marginally. They both have a similarly unpleasant chemical note in the aftertaste, while also being way too sweet and rather artificial-tasting. I dislike this beer and I doubt I'll drink it again... but at the same time, I kind of love the idea of it. It is a shameless beer-adjacent beverage with nothing to hide, doing exactly what it says on the label. Strawberry flavouring? Check! Dessert-like milkshake sweetness? You bet. Does it taste anything like a beer? Not really.
