16-ounce can purchased at Noble Hop Bierhaus in Hillsboro, OR. No date stamp. Enjoyed in a nonic half-pint glass.
The slightly cloudy body is an attractive peachy gold with a subtle pink tinge to it. Zero head retention or lacing. The nose is mild, and offers notes of strawberry preserves, SweeTarts, sourdough bread, and low-key earthy funk. The flavor is tart with a delicate sweetness and the marvelous strawberry preserves character promised by the nose. There's bread dough and spicy phenolics in the middle. Strawberry flavor lingers in the background to the very end. The finish has a light mineral character, some crackery malt, and an unfortunate trace of solvent. Maybe a brief ping of bitter juniper, but it's really hard to pick out. Light-bodied with brisk carbonation and a touch of astringency.
What an intriguing beer! The strawberries are delightful, the tartness is restrained, and there's a rewarding amount of flavor in a beer that still feels delicate. You can add me to the Funky Fauna fan club. I can't wait to try more beers from them.
