Fruit Beer 8.6 º

Urban Artifact

Squeezebox presents an intense sensory experience typical of a Midwest Fruit Tart, characterized by a massive addition of real strawberries. The profile is dominated by the aroma of sun-ripened, jammy strawberries and a clean, sharp lactic acidity that balances the fruit's natural sweetness. At 8.6% ABV, the beer possesses a substantial structure and a medium-full body enhanced by fruit solids, yet it maintains a refreshing quality through high carbonation. Expect a vibrant ruby-pink hue and a palate that transitions from juicy fruit flesh to a crisp, tart finish, capturing the essence of a concentrated strawberry puree within a potent, sour ale framework.

Appearance. Deep ruby-pink to reddish-orange hue; hazy to opaque appearance due to high fruit solids. Pours with a moderate, pink-tinted head that shows fair retention and leaves light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh-picked strawberries and strawberry jam. A clean, sharp lactic tang provides a yogurt-like acidity. Very low malt presence with no detectable hop aroma, allowing the fruit to remain the singular focus.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of ripe strawberry fruit and aggressive lactic sourness. The malt provides a subtle cracker-like backdrop but is largely overshadowed by the fruit. No hop bitterness or flavor is perceived. The finish is very tart and clean, with a lingering jammy fruit character that avoids being cloying despite the high ABV.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a thick, pulpy texture from the heavy fruit loading. High carbonation provides a prickly sensation that cuts through the viscosity. A moderate, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present on the swallow.
