tasted the strawberry wheat with strawberries on for 1-2 weeks prior to straining off and bottling. yum. Lightly fruity with minimal sweetness. for me, a very nice balance for a fruit beer. strawberries used had a notable tartness present that carried over to the beer.

After 14 days in primary I racked half onto ~6 lbs fresh picked/frozen strawberries. Other half remained in separate vessel (im busy, and maybe lazy too sometimes) until all was ready to keg/bottle.
