What Our Editors Thought

“Evocative aroma, round with fresh basil notes and a lively green quality that heightens the rich strawberry. Delicious in the flavor, well positioned acidity, real strawberry, just the right sweetness, no plasticity to the fruit, and a satisfying full finish. Remarkable.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Copper colored with little head and good clarity. Aroma of strawberry jam, fresh flowers, peppery basil. The same flavors in the taste along with a slight sourness and subtle white-bread presence. Light tart underneath that grows as the beer warms. Light bodied with a clean bite at the finish. Fun to have such a sweet, jammy expression of the strawberries in such a dry presentation. From a hedonistic perspective, love the beer, but it is quite sweet for a Berliner weisse.”

What the Brewers Say

“Made with fresh strawberries, local basil, and 100% North Carolina malt. A strawberry in a glass.”
