Strawberry Knoll

◎ Appearance

Strawberry Knoll presents a pale golden hue with exceptional clarity, revealing the bright character of a wild ale conditioned on mixed woodland berries. The head forms with delicate carbonation and displays fine Schaumkleiden as it settles. The beer's translucent quality emphasizes its refreshing, approachable nature.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe strawberry and blackberry notes, supported by subtle marionberry undertones that suggest a thoughtful blend of forest fruits. Beneath the berry aromatics, a gentle acidity emerges alongside faint funky character from the mixed culture fermentation. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no sharp or aggressive edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright berry fruit—primarily strawberry and dark stone fruit—that carries through the mid-palate with genuine freshness. A moderate tartness and mild sourness from the mixed culture provide definition without overwhelming the fruit character. The finish dries progressively, with the berry notes persisting and a subtle funky quality lingering on the tongue.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, allowing the woodland fruit and subtle acidity to fade gracefully. A pleasant, slightly funky aftertaste remains, refreshing rather than challenging.
