next reincarnation

The Beer Garden used to have a bunch of Scandinavian and some Polish beers, that I don't often see in other places.  Well, the Scandinavians have spread out some by now.  Cerevisia seems to have inherited the old stock, since among the shelves, standing proudly, was Polish Doctor Brew's Strawberry Ale.  Gotta balance out those stouts with something perhaps more desserty.  But healthy dessert.  Light and nutritious.

There's a very slight reddish tinge, I expected more, but there's something there regardless.  There's also a sharp fruity smell, although I don't think I would be able to identify it as strawberry right off the bat.  The taste is quite bitter, very ale-y.  Going by that, I would have guessed grapefruit as the fruit additive, rather than a berry.  It's nice in that it isn't going to get syrupy on a hot evening.  As it starts to warm up, the beer takes on a tartness that is refreshing, much like the original bitterness.
