Strawberries Overpowering Everything

[Cat Assistant Brewery]

I brewed a good handfull of beers over the summer with fruits in them, I keep running into the same issues. The strawberries would be only thing I tasted. I did mixed berry sour, strawberry and rasberry blond ale, lime and strawberry wheat beer. They all had the same issues.

I use no suger added frozen fruit for all my beers and usally do one pound of fruit per gallon of beer.

Has anyone else had this problem or is my taste more tuned to tasting strawberry first?

Need recipes to help answer your question. Also Ph would help. Lower Ph's tend to help accentuate strawberries.

Both recipes are for 1 gallon

Here the one for the blonde ale I made:

14 oz Light Dry Extract 60 mins
4 oz Wheat Extract 60 mins
0.1 oz Centennial Hops 60 mins
0.1 oz Citra hops 5 mins

Secondary after one week add:
8 oz strawberries
8 oz Raspberries

Then my Sour Beer:
1 Pound of Wheat DME 60 mins
8 Oz of Golden Light DME 60 Mins
.2 oz Cascade 60 Mins
1 tbsp of Crushed Coriander Seeds 5 mins
Philly Sour for the yeast.

Secondary after one week add:

I keep the recipes simple because I wanted the fruit to be the main focus of the beer.
