Van Diest Fruli Strawberry Beer

Okay, this beer is well rated everywhere but it tastes like an alcoholic fruit drink more than any beer. A bright red pour with a pink bubbly cap that covers the surface. The aroma is candy sugar and strawberry syrup. The flavour is sweet and tart strawberry. Again, what’s the big deal with this one that I’m missing?

Smoking a cigar, watching Coronation Street and drinking a Fruli. This beer is what got my girlfriend off Coors Lite. Now Impy Stouts are her favorites. Anyway, sweet and sour flavour. Ok drink at the right time.

Pours a grapefruit pink with a 3 finger head that seems to take its time going down. Got a non-filtered look to it. Aroma is pretty much identical to a winecooler. Taste is extremely sweet with a dominating strawberry taste. Not much beer taste to it. Feels like I am sucking on a dum dum sucker. Finishes off non-existent. For what it is it is nice but not for the price.

Pours cloudy dark pink, no head. Mouthfeel is smooth and sticky sweet. Flavor is...you guessed it, strawberries. Unfortunately, it's a bit overwhelming leaving little to no reminder that you're actually drinking a beer. I'm betting it is a fantastic after dinner beer.

Pours a nice cloudy but definitely strawberry red. Delicious strawberry aroma fills the air as soon as the bottle is opened. Rather sweet most likely not something you would want to drink during the super bowl, but if your in the mood for something sweet and fruity this might just be the thing for you.

This poured a bright red color with a small pinkish white head. The aroma is well you guessed it strawberries! Not freshly picked ones but those candies you get wrapped in paper that looks like a strawberry. The flavor is rather sweet with more artifical strawberry flavor. Overall this tastes like Strawberry Fanta, which I like sometimes. But not much of a beer.

Personally, I think this is more fruit than beer and one that seems to me to be like a poor mans Lindeman’s take on the "fruit beer" style. Aroma is overwhelmingly strawberry, but seems artificial like strawberry bubblegum. Couldn’t pick-up any remnants of the wit base. Flavor was equally as artificially strawberry flavored, but reminded me more of a strawberry soda with the carbonation. Easy to drink, didn’t get cloying like a soda can be. I can see how this would be enjoyed by many, but 1 bottle was perfect for me.

Poured a headless, pink grapefruit-coloured body, enhanced by a strawberry scent. Mouth was smooth and way more substantial that I'd anticipated. Flavour was pleasing; a nice dessert beer this is.

It pours a dark reddish/burnt orange with thin dirty-white head and some lace. An aroma of strawberry, bready malts, and some honey. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich. Flavors of strawberries, faint hops, bready malts, citrus, and light spiciness. Mmmm ... is this a beer?

This beer is great.... to a girl who doesnt like beer and you want to show them that beer isnt just Canadian and Coors. While of little tasting value, it tastes of strawberries and sugar, and promises nothing more. Flavour is straight forward and may lack the complexity of many other fruit beers. A fantastic beer to come back to once in a while when you are looking for something simple and refreshing, but a little different than a lager or pale ale.
