Fruli Strawberry Beer

I tasted this beer in Cape of Good Hope yesterday. It is quite strong for such kind of product 4.1%. I thought that it is actually a fermented strawberry juice (like strawberry cider or something), but it is actually a normal beer with strawberry juice mixed in or so the internet says. I must stress, that this is not like alcopop at all, it is thick and dense and tastes of real strawberries. In principle I like the fact the the sweet fruitiness of strawberry juice is complemented by beer bitterness. Ultimately, however, it is too heavy and too sweet... Hogaarden with a little bit of lemon does that kind of stuff much better....
