look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Appearance- golden yellow in color with good amount of murkiness from the wheat, nice bubbles stream nicely up the glass, white head fades thin lacing,

Smell- all i can really get off this smell is tons of strawberry and berry, fruit dominated nose

Taste- get a little bit of wheat up front then all i get what so ever is lots of fake berrys and strawberry flavors, to me this flavor is identical to that of boo berry cereal, its not offensive but its just very fake and kinda over done, its not sweet but just bit much for me to love,

Mouthfeel- very well carbonated light crisp, nice feel creamy smooth

Overall/drinkability- this beer certainly is not hard to drink and the strawberry flavors to kind of grow on you though im not sure its something I would really be searching for again, to be fair fruit wheat beers are low on my beer todem pole but this one is inoffensive and decent, if you are into the style this may be worth look for you, if point its weakness the strawberry at times seems bit forced and strong but its strong point is due to light abv and crisp carbonation its decently refreshing and easy drink

This beer is great for the summer. Very good aroma with a strawbery after taste that is very pleasant. I would recommend this beer to anyone who likes beer but wants something with a little different taste.

They are also located close to home so that's nice as well.

Poured a thin head on a clear, hazy golden colored body.
The aroma is all strawberry jam. The real stuff without the extra sugar.
The taste is a strawberry jam with a bit of lager thrown in. Fairly mild flavor, which in this case is good.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
It is what it is... a strawberry beer. And at that it does a good job.

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.

I know when I think New Orleans, strawberries strike my brain first in association... Anyway, this stuff pours a mostly clear sunrise brass topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose is an adept recreation in liquid of a strawberry-flavored Pop-Tart, crust and all. The taste generally brings more of the same, though there's more of that crust flavor and a touch of berry tartness near the finish, which, oddly enough, seems out of place, given the pervasive feeling of sweetness throughout. It also kinda stabs out, an unnatural lightning. The body is a light medium, with a moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, an okay beer at best, but one that just doesn't quite sit all that well with me. Thankfully, the strawberry flavor isn't truly an artificial one, but it's not altogether pleasant, either.
