Best Quote During Tasting

I wish I could put that as a quote but...you know...it's horrendously offensive to anyone that can read.

Justin:

Aroma - The strawberry is HUGE but extremely sweet. There's also a small earthiness behind it. The malts are hard to find but I would say they're wheat bread if anything.
Score: 8/12
Appearance - The beer is nearly clear but has a slight cloudiness to it. There's a thin white head made up of small and large bubbles that floats on top of the beer for a minute or so before completely disappearing.
Score: 2/3
Flavor - The strawberry again leads the way but it's a little beyond sweet. There are no hops to be found and the malts are sweet and wheat bread. It does have a biting, dry finish.
Score: 14/20
Mouthfeel - The carbonation is high and the body is medium but the carbonic bite is quite large.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - Man. I brew my own beer so I know how much fruit it would take to make a fruit beer. Brewers need to use fruit flavored extract unless they want to make a $20/bottle 6 pack. This one just tasted too artificial for my liking. That's not to say there aren't plenty of people out there that love it, I just don't think I'd get this one again personally.
Score: 6/10
