Samuel Smiths Organic Strawberry Fruit Beer
Bottle: Pasteurised.
The small and historical All Saints Brewery is located in Stamford, Lincolnshire - a region famous for excellent fruit. The Samuel Smith’s Organic Fruit Beers are brewed and fermented there, then transferred to Samuel Smith’s Brewery, in Tadcaster, for conditioning, aging, and packaging. The complex multiple yeast strains used to ferment these beers lead to a beautiful marriage with pure, rich Certified Organic fruit. Tasting notes: Strawberries offer a soft and subtle flavour, making the character of this fruit beer extremely sophisticated and refined. The smooth malt and aromatic strawberry flavours merge together in an elegant fashion, with the fresh flavours of ripe strawberries shining through.

Way too sweet & more like fruit juice than beer.
12 oz bottle. Pours a reddish dun with a fast dissipating white head. No lacing. Big scents of strawberry and yeast. Sweet berry flavors with malt and a very little barnyard. Flat carbonation. More juice than beer. Pleasant.
Strong smell and taste of strawberrys layered over a light carbonated ruddy beer. If too warm (as it has been when camping once) it can taste rather acidic but at a good temperature the strawberry dominates. A nice sweat fruit beer.
De craftbeer-shop. En copa Teku. Jugando a Captain Spirit. Muy natural, agradable y fresco sabor a fresas sin perder el caracter a cerveza. Invita a trago largo. Yucatán
From bottle. Has a nice strawberry aroma. Orange in color and quite clear. Tastes of strawberry with a hint of booze. Very fruity. Sweet fruity finish. Quite nice, if you are into fruity beers. Not for the fruit beer hater.
Pours reddish orangish gold with a small white head. The strawberry taste come through strong. Refreshing ale taste.
Bottle in Kent. Light soapy head on red/brown-hued orange. Seems like a brown ale radler (?). Woody malt base, sweetness is well balanced, fruit is a bit lost and artificial. Nose of grass/straw and strawberry, some honey. Odd but not bad.
SharePoint blottlegger at Princess Louise, Holborn. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is malty, with a note of stawberries. Moderate sweet taste, noticeable sweet strawberries, Week carbonated.
Kolor czerwony, malinowy, piana z sykiem znika. W aromacie buchają truskawki. W smaku jest wręcz wyklejająco słodkie, choć wodniste. Team słodyczka zdecydowanie.
12 ounce bottle at Winking Lizard Copley, Ohio. Really smell the strawberries, really strong. Golden in color Soft white head, no film. Strong taste of strawberries and very smooth. What a surprising awesome beer. Could drink plenty. Cheers!
Reviewed on May 9, 2018. Date code SF09Q1 (June 9 2017), so it is 11 months old. Strongly strawberry aroma with some shortcake bread. Hazy, cloudy amber with a short off-white head, disappearing quickly to a thin bubbly cap and a bubbly ring. As with the aroma, the taste is strongly strawberry, not artificial, but real strawberry juice taste, somewhat sweet, with just a hint of tartness in the finish. With every sip, the intake of the aroma is fruity strawberry, and the taste follows in kind. Very smooth, juice-like mouth feel. It tastes more like a strawberry beverage than it does a beer (it is not sweet enough to be called a strawberry soda, but it is in that direction). I bought this out of curiosity. I normally avoid fruit beers, but if you like the taste of strawberries more than beer, this is very tasty. As I said earlier, genuine strawberry, not artificial. It's just not for me. However, I will attempt to rate it for what it is, a strawberry ale. It would easily be at least 3/4 of a point lower on my "I like it" rating. I'm glad I tried it, but I won't be buying any more for me. My wife really likes it, however, so I may buy more anyway!
Pours with a thin, dense white head. Color is amber, almost clear. Rich and sweet malt and strawberry aroma. Additionally some mead (apple juice), red bubble gum (e.g. hubbabubba sour) and some lemon candy. Nice palate is 3/5 balanced, but 4/5 mouth feel. Sweet, rich and mellow taste. Strawberry and vanilla swirls, some hops (but not very pronounced), faint vanilla-lemon notes, harmonious light malty body. It's very delicious, candy-like, but not too candy, retaining some elegancy. Also not too cider-like and retains nice beer characteristics (maltiness, hops). Very good.
Bottle. Dark gold orange color. Thin white head. Taste is light to medium bitter. Aroma and flavour is strawberry, raspberry, light diacetyl. period.
Bottle, 500ml at The Three Goats Heads, Oxford. Pinkish amber with white head. There is certainly a strawberry aroma to this, fresh and fruity, the beer itself is quite sweet with a strawberry parfait type flavour. A little sticky. Not really my thing.
Bottle @ Home. Pours dark golden with a creamy offwhite head, lacings. Aroma of malt, little bread, heavy strawberry, jam. Flavor is sweet, malt, little caramel, bread, strawberry. Medium body, average carbonation, sweet finish. 061217
355 ml bottle. Pours with a cloudy, deep golden color and a nice white head. Heavy strwaberry nose, sweet, sloghtly bready with just a few malts. Taste is medium sweet and dominated by strawberry flavors, astonishingly not too artifical. Almost no hops. Medium body.
Fairly decent strawberry ale. Since it's fairly simple and straightforward strawberry I don't know that I could drink a lot of it but it's not bad. Natural flavors a little bit of funk in there and the beer cast to it help a lot. Decent body and finishes like flavor which is fairly long.
When I picked this up, I was hoping it would be almost exactly what it is... a strawberry ale. I was immediately struck by the scent of fresh strawberries when I popped the cap. About 30 minutes in the fridge and it was perfectly chilled. Nicely carbonated. It was a little sweeter than I hoped for, but that is not to say that it wasn't delicious. I was hoping for a strawberry beer, and that's what this is. Thank you Samuel Smith.
On bottle @Salling
It’s a bit tingling when you drink, very fruity in the beginning, but with a bitter non-fruity ending - expected more
550 ml. bottle. Pours a medium short lived, foamy white head, over a slightly hazy gold (SRM 5) body.......nose is heavy sweet strawberry, mild malts with bread, toast tones, no hops.......taste is strawberry, moderate sweet malt tones with light bread, cracker, finishing moderately sweet, no hop tones.....mouth feel, medium light body, no alcohol, high carbonation with light acid. This is a heavily strawberry dominated beer, that with the lighter malts and hops is approaching a soda type aroma and taste. It is light and refreshing for the summer time of year. BJCP 7/3/12/4/6
Bottle from rimi, tallinn. Hazy deep golden color, white head. Aroma has strawberries, some wheaty notes. Tart and sweet strawberry taste, pretty clean.
Fantastic summer beer. Same ol Sam Smith you can't go wrong. A full strawberry flavor but not overbearing. Light ale.
Bottle in Fitzroy Tavern. Amber beer, white foam head. Nose is sweet, strawberry syrup, strawberry fruit, slight tartness. Taste is sweet, strawberry fruit, slightly tart and sour, strawberry syrup. Definitely on the sweet side of things although not quite cloying.
Leicht trübes Gold mit relativ wenig Schaum. Leicht malzig, süßlich, reichlich Erdbeeren, minimale Säure, erfrischend.
时间2017.02.24，晚上看完太阳有耳从资料馆门口附近的那个精酿小商户买的，然后去吃饭喝的，温度高了，得有12℃或以上。
酒体颜色是苹果汁稍微深一点，微棕吧，挺清澈。酒头泡沫几乎没有。
闻起来就是草莓奶油感，气味不是很强烈。
入口甜度不高，酸感中偏下一点。中偏下的草莓奶油香，略有点苦（或许稍微有点涩感）。这样平衡性不能说差，但是酒体真的太单薄了。
如果低温喝，应该会很清爽，不过厚度肯定是不够满足的。
喝起来真得挺有苹果饮料再加点气泡的感觉。

香气：较强的、较正的草莓果酱、草莓奶昔气味，有些甜腻风味、透出香草奶油气息。风味非常甜品！
外观：有些浑浊的琥珀色酒体，色度约13，边缘呈淡琥珀或橙色；酒头泡沫较浅，但稳定后沿杯壁有薄薄一圈，稍有挂杯，杯底有小气泡不断升起，可见碳酸化程度较高。
风味：入口中等草莓酸甜，草莓香气不算爆炸，但甜味比较明显。收口前稍有酒花泥土、药草味，整体可以体会到饱满的麦芽支撑度。残糖较高，余味甚至有淡淡却口感稍粘稠的甘草糖、奶油蛋糕甜味。
口感：中等酒体，中等稍上沙口感，整体比较甜，稍有粘稠感。
总体印象：残糖比较高的一款水果增味啤酒，可以称作是甜品酒了。草莓风味还比较明显。
建议饮用温度4℃左右
Bottle. Murky reddish gold color poured with an off-white head. The aroma is strawberry. The taste is moderately sweet upfront with a tartness on the back end.
Bottle. Reddish gold colour. Strawberry aroma. Strawberry fruity taste. Vanilla in the taste. Very sweet with fizzy carbonation. Very slight fruity sourness. More a sweet soft drink than a beer. Not for me. (2008)
I bought this bottle at drink of the world in Zürich. I drank it at home after a nice Italian aperitive in another place. In my opinion, it is a good beer, well balanced. There is a nice mix between this mineral water from the brewery and the strawberry, mineral and sweet, some malt, regular carbonation, nice red color, thin foam, refreshing, not sour like the Belgian sisters.
Smells like strawberry gum and tastes like it. Not really a strawberry color, more like a geuze. Odd.
[backlog] 30-01-16 // bottle at home. Pours copper coloured. Nose is strawberry. Taste is very sweet and dominated by strawberry juice. Too sweet for me.
