Inspired by the belgian fruit beers, but without the sweetness. Pours bright, delicate tangerine to pink and lively. The aroma is of freshly picked strawberries and pale malt with a delicate fruity sweetness. The full fresh strawberry flavour is clean and smooth on the palate, all the flavour but without the sweetness traditionally associated with fruit beers. It has a spritzy clean mouth-feel helped by the moderate carbonation level.
Mike’s Premium Organic Strawberry Blonde makes a great accompaniment to light Summer meals and light desserts.
Serve chilled in a tall pilsner glass to fully appreciate the colour, aroma and lively carbonation.
The 4% ABV level is somewhat surprising, the alcohol is masked by the full flavour, a great session beer for warm weather.
