Brick colored and opaque with a nice heads that settles.
Nose is straight up strawberries.
Taste is strawberries, sweetness, acid, and tartness. Maybe rhubard but who knows what rhubard taste like.
Mouthful is medium to light and crisp. Carbonation is above average. Finish is dry.
Super drinkable and very refreshing between the sweet and tart. The fruit is strong, the rhubarb not so much. Highly recommended.

Look is odd, however appropriate.
Aroma is spot on fresh strawberry.
Taste reminds me of not only the sweetness of the strawberry but it's tartness highlighted by the rhubarb with no candy sweetness. Juicy, ripe, and kissed with morning dew.
Mouthfeel is near perfect. I can almost feel the actual fruit.
Overall pour this over a biscuit, top it with vanilla ice cream, and color me happy.

Poured out looking something like a V* fruit drink with a white head on top. The smell of the beer is pretty intense, lots of strawberry on the nose. The taste is of sweet strawberry mixed with a subtle tartness in the finish. The feel is medium bodied, kinda thick though and creamy. Overall I thought it's a really good beer, it just looked ugly.

A - Opaque pink/red strawberry colored pour with a pink lacing ring that's creamy and bubbly.
S - Strawberry, rhubard, and creme. That's it.
T - Strawberry, creme, and rhubarb. Juicy and tart with a hint of sourness
.
M - Medium body with a wet finish.
O - If I want Tropicana fruit juice I'll go to the grocery store and buy some. No thanks.

If not for its sparkling nature, this would look like pie filling in glass. It has a milky, goopy roasted red rhubarb look, almost burgundy purple, with a large, fizzy foam head that loudly dies to a webby film.
Smell jumps out straight at you of strawberry rhubarb jam with a little sparkling wine type character of white grape.
Taste is shockingly tart at first, as it tickles the corners of the throat, then mellows immediately to provide loads of strawberry rhubarb all sweet, bright and sparkly, brightened by lemon. There's a little bread and acidic sharpness in here as well, ending with a semi-dry finish for this crisp, smooth, and light to medium bodied top tier fruit beer.

Thumbprint 12 oz. bottle, released 2017. Thanks to EehaiCJ for the assist.
Deep dark red with a thin layer of foam and spotty lace. Nice color.
Smells like artificial strawberry candy, strawberry kool-aid, off brand strawberry jam.
Tastes very sweet, cloying strawberry candy in liquid form. Gross.
Sticky sweet, light to medium bodied with a slick artificial strawberry aftertaste.
Nowhere near the balanced sweet/tart/natural fruit of the original batch, 2017 is a complete bizarro version. Avoid.
Gave away the rest of the 4-pack. Tried it a 2nd time, and it still tasted like artificial strawberry candy, though there was a very mild rhubarb tartness present. Not really enough to redeem it.
This reminds me of stuff clueless underage kids might try to buy at the liquor store.
Worse than Four Loko or similar fruit flavored malternatives out there. Sad!

Split a 750ml bottle with family and it went over pretty well.
Reddish orange with a crimson highlight, lasting foam with arcs of sticky lace in the glass. Patchy skim on the surface after a few sips. Body has a bright clarity and the occasional stray rising bubble. Flecks of spotty lace in the glass.
Sweet strawberry in the nose, hints of light acid and mild funk, though fairly restrained.
Tart and creamy, big strawberry flavor with acidic tartness from the rhubarb. Light and spritzy, lingering fruitiness in the aftertaste. On par with the other fruit beers they make, about as tart as Serendipity, the strawberry taste is pretty assertive.
