Hoegaarden Rosée if you want subtle fruit and session-ability,
Strawberry Sundae if you want bold funk and dessert intensity.
The Rosée is a traditional Belgian wheat beer that happens to blush with fruit—it's restrained, almost demure. Strawberry Sundae is a wild ale that *becomes* its fruit; it's fermented sour and funky, then loaded with strawberry. One's a gateway into fruit beers; the other's a statement.

Tasting notes
Hoegaarden Rosée
Hoegaarden Rosée slides in pale and hazy, smelling more of coriander and wheat than strawberry. The fruit is there—it's a whisper, a flush of tartness on the back—but this beer respects its wheat ale roots. You're getting spice, citrus zest, and a bone-dry finish that makes you want another sip immediately. It's the kind of beer you can drink three of and feel fine.
Strawberry Sundae
Strawberry Sundae is wild in every sense: tart, funky, layered with actual strawberry character that tastes like compote meets yeast. There's a vinegary edge—intentional—plus that funk only wild fermentation brings. It's richer, more texture-forward, and lingers. Sip this slowly. It's not a crusher; it's a conversation.
