Light mouth feel with good amount of carbonation.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
A blend of 70% white beer and 30% fruit juice goes into making this strawberry beer. It's a mini bottle packed with a mighty "punch" of strawberry flavor. Sweet on the nose and true tart strawberry finish makes this most unusual in a beer, indeed.
Opening the cap, there is no mistaking the aroma. It wafted out of the vessel and could be smelled from over 3 feet away. It was so sensory, that it stopped me 'dead' in my tracks! The taste is similar to spiked fruit punch. It's fizzy, strawberry sweet and oh, so easy to drink. The unusual 8.4 oz. bottle makes Früli just the right size for a step off the beaten beer path.
A gold medal winner at the International Beer Competition 2004, it's just another good thing from the earth in a bottle!
