Strawberry Cream Ale
Would you share the recipe? How did you incorporate the fruit into the beer? Fresh, puree, extract? Many fruit beers in my past have been failures. Cheers.
Here is the recipe. I do 30 minute boils, so adjust the FWH hop addition accordingly. I've used different yeasts for this, something that will stay out of the way will work.
