Strawberry Blonde
Diamond Bear Brewing Company

I’m not much on the average “beer” taste. Over the past few years I have found some beers that I enjoy and this is one of them. It has a nice fruity smell and taste. It is a lot better from a glass as opposed to the can as you can enjoy the smell before you drink.

 

 

Fun beer to drink just for kicks. Has a medium strawberry scent. Color is very summer yellow and not much opaqueness, looks like a pilsner at first. Thin head, aftertaste is good. Notes of honey, summer straw, and berries (hint of mulberry). The hops compliment everything that's going on. Not bad. I dig it.

Dark yellow to orange color half-finger head with dissipates quickly literally no lacing whatsoever very subtle strawberry notes are just enough to let you know what you chose light on the palate not overbearing like some fruit beers can be, a real good summertime beer very nice.

 

Taste: hint of garden picked strawberries, tangy, bitter hop notes, airy mouthfeel. Nose has a sweeter strawberry nose.
Peach/Gold color, mostly clear, soft foam head and ringed lace. Medium almost lite body. 20 IBUs

 

Strawberry Blonde has a thick, slightly off-white head, a mostly clear, golden, bubbly appearance, with just a touch of glass lacing, left behind. The aroma is of an initial strawberry burst, which dies down to a faint strawberry and bread smell. Taste is rather dull, with a touch of white bread, some strawberry, and decent bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Strawberry Blonde finishes medium dry.

This was not good, I expected not good, got less. It felt like a standard weak adjunct lager with artificial flavor added. Too carbonated, sweet corn in the after taste. Will not buy again.

 

You can smell a little strawberry but you can't taste it much at all.

 

 

For a fruit beer this is pretty darn good, nice light strawberry preserves taste and aroma, I could definitely spread some of this on top of some homemade bread with Skippy chunky peanut butter on it, if that were possible (and it would definitely kick Walsh's Grape in that situation,) . Decent light caramel coloring with a bit of edge head remaining throughout. I'd love to try their raspberry or blueberry, if their ever up for those.

For what it is it isn't all that bad. The strawberry is just enough, it's refreshing and it tastes like fresh strawberries, not strawberry flavoring. Maybe they have improved on it but I felt the preceding reviews were harsh for what it is
