The brew is hazy red with glimmers of orange, a light small pink head. No lacing, nor curtains to mention.

The smell is strawberries, strawberry plants and some green apples.

A sweet one, much strawberries, some grapes and rhubarbs. Acidity enough to balance the sweetness somewhat.

Medium carbonation, soft and actually some body, very easy to drink.

To review a beverage like this you need to adjust your brain a bit, think aperitif on a sunny summer evening. It's not "I'm thirsty, gimme a beer!". For the right occasion it could be worse, it had some balance. Sampled at a beer tasting at De Klomp, Linköping, Sweden.

The product is again a concentrated fruit syrup very sweet and highly indigestible. Forget the taste of hops, malt or yeast, here, Floris Fraise offers us a taste similar to sugar cubes soaked in crushed strawberries. Needless to say that drinking more than two is an achievement as this beer is a diabetic nightmare. Some here seem to hold the product in high esteem, I always wonder why.

Pours a redish-pinkish-orangish, good head, nice lacing. Huge aroma of strawberries, nothing overly synthetic smelling, a little "strawberry gummy candy"-like, quite pleasant. Flavor, again a lot of strawberries, some wheat, no spice, little hop bitterness. Finishes quite dry and leaves you with a nice strawberry semi-sweet pucker taste that makes you reach for that glass again.

Very nice! These "Floris" fruit beers are well crafted.
