Holler people. Holler. So we are winding down the summer beer brews and I’m getting anxious to dive into some fall brews and brewery lines but first business and today’s business involves strawberries. Strawberries have found their way into this beer log with Abita’s Strawberry Harvest Lager, Covington Strawberry Ale, Dogfish Head Tweson’ale as well as a cider or two and now we come to Buffalo Bill’s Brewery take on that funky fruit and I will say it hit’s it out of the park in my opinion. The beer pours a slightly hazy golden color with a about a ¼ inch head that leaves little lacing on the glass and a nose of spicy ginger, strawberries and alcohol. The beer is unique in it’s flavor with ginger dominating (the label say’s it “with ginger”) the taste that dominates the beer’s flavor with a strawberry taste that seems almost aromatic throughout the beer. The finish is very light and the strawberry flavor is present but doesn’t linger. This is a great beer and dare I say it, best strawberry beer I’ve had this year? Yes, I dare. Sorry Abita, you’ve been dethroned and I can say this beer will find a permanent spot in the rotation next year and this is definitely worth multiple spots in your six pack, maybe even a sixer by itself.
