A Note on This Beer

There’s something so deliciously decadent, yet light and summery about strawberry shortcake.

I can’t leave the county fair without getting one. Sure, the rides are fun and the baby animals are cute, but my friends all know the real reason I’m there.

This year, I can skip the fair altogether, thanks to Braxton Brewing! Their Strawberry Shortcake Cream Ale tastes just like a sweet and crumbly fair scone topped with fresh strawberries and handmade whipped cream. Each sip transports you to a refreshing summertime nirvana.

That’s because the brewers at Braxton “baked” it with a whopping 420 lbs of strawberry puree! All those berries, along with cinnamon, vanilla, lactose, and a biscuit malt backbone, creates a flawless county fair-quality finish.

Locals are loving this brand-new brew since its release in Braxton’s Kentucky taproom. Now, you can try it without trekking to the Bluegrass State!

Just take a sip of this creamy strawberry shortcake and enjoy your favorite fresh-baked flavors from the comfort of your own backyard.

*Braxton recently won Brewbound’s prestigious Rising Star Award!

I love cream ales and dessert beers. This was great! Not too heavy, good for summer.

Mostly cream ale, the rest are disappointingly subtle. Not too sweet for a dessert series, not overly creamy. Strawberry comes through a bit.

Eh, ok, but close to being better. Too close to a sour or fruit ale to be called a cream ale

Too light. Didn't have a punch. The flavor was good, just weak.

Good tasting beer that I enjoyed out of the can moreso than in a glass. Has good taste in both settings but definitely got more sweetness from the strawberry out of the can. Get cream and cinnamon from the glass and can't really go wrong. #SummerBeer

Good flavor, sweeter side but that's what I usually like, light and refreshing for summer months

Was expecting creamier. I completely get the strawberry shortcake. A bit on the sour end. Would definitely buy again.

At first crack(open) I could get some aroma...but I honestly think I hyped the beer up to myself a little too much. My expectations were too high. Still an all around great beer but when you read the description and you also see “cream ale” on the title, you would expect something really rich and creamy. Especially is it’s an “dessert series.” But still a great beer

Very subtle strawberry flavor. Not very heavy. Good for summer in my opinion. If you like a beer like Corona or a summer Shandy you would probably like this.

I like that this is fruit without sour. I like sour, but this was a nice change of pace. I guess I need more oat ales in my life.
