Strawberry Shortcake Fandango

◎ Appearance

A pale, straw-colored brew with excellent clarity and a bright, golden-yellow hue characteristic of its low SRM. The head forms quickly and holds with fine, persistent lacing that clings to the glass. Effervescence is lively and visible throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, macerated strawberry that dominates the sensory profile, accompanied by prominent vanilla notes reminiscent of whipped cream. Subtle fruity esters underscore the adjunct character, with minimal hop presence and no apparent malt backbone—the aromatics remain fruit-forward and dessert-like.

◐ Taste

Sweet strawberry fruit leads the palate with a soft, fluffy vanilla middle that recalls the dessert inspiration. Gentle sourness and tartness provide structure without dominating, while a subtle creamy mouthfeel softens the edges. The finish dries gradually, revealing a shortbread-like crumbly quality that fades cleanly.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is refreshing and dry, with lingering strawberry notes that fade to a faint vanilla warmth. Clean departure leaves little residue on the palate.
