Booze: Fruli, what? Strawberry Beer?

It’s a wheat beer, like hoegarden… but with strawberries! I talk not of a strange new gimmicky drink that has just been released onto the masses of alchopop drinking youth, but of a drink that has been around for nearly five years and created a cult following. I talk of Fruli.

Fruli is 70% wheat beer, 30% strawberry juice and is a refreshing sweet alternative to your standard larger. I’ll be up-front and honest. I designed and developed the two main Fruli sites on the web, the unofficial fan site, www.frulibeer.com and the official Fruli site www.fruli.com. So you could say I am a little biased in my opinions.

That said I would admit that you can’t (and probably shouldn’t www.drinkaware.co.uk) drink more than 2 maybe 3 pints of the red stuff.

I think the difference with Fruli compared to other fruit drinks, is that its immediately tasty and very sweet. It won’t be everybody’s taste, but it is well worth trying to see if it is yours.

The strawberry taste is immediately recognisable, which isn’t the case with many fruit drinks such as Belle-Vue or Samuel Smiths Cherry Fruit Beer where the fruit is far more subtle. On the flipside though, Fruli is slightly gassier than its other fruit beer counterparts.

As with most drinks like this that are a bit more unique, it really is down to personal taste. This, like marmite… is a love it or hate it relationship!
