From the bottom of the can: "CANNED ON 02-10-21 WITH LOVE"
Appearance: The beer is a very hazy and nearly opaque orange-gold color. Very hazy shadows are barely visible through numerous layers of shadow across the body. The head is large and long-lasting, white, and has a meringue appearance.
Aroma: There's a ton of sulfur coming from the beer. A light bit of lemon peeps in through the sulfur.
Taste: Up front there is a light bit of lemon and a very light bit of wheat. There's not a lot of flavor going on here. Towards the middle there's a light bit of mineral character with a retronasal dog hair character. Not appetizing and very little character other than the watered down lemon from the beginning.
Mouthfeel: It feels light bodied with a hint of tartness. Carbonation feels good. No bitterness and a wet finish. Feels very watery overall and drinkability is low given the poor aroma and flavor.
Overall: The can states that this is a "STRAWBERRY CREAM ALE" and that it is a "CRISP, CLEAN, AND DELICATELY FRUITED CREAM ALE WITH NOTES OF SWEET STRAWBERRY AND OLD FASHIONED MILKSHAKES." It feels light but it doesn't feel crisp or clean. It may be overly delicate with the fruit additions, because it doesn't taste like strawberry at all, sweet or otherwise. What you get is a massive dose of sulfur and a drastic lack of character. I strongly recommend against trying this beer and I wouldn't drink it again. The most you'll get out of this is a hint of lemon. The flavor is not consistent even within the can; some drinks or sips you get more or less flavor. What is consistent is the overabundance of sulfur.
