A Note on This Beer

Close your eyes, and each sip of today’s Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie Sour tastes like a big bite of fluffy, rich vanilla shortcake layered with fresh, jammy strawberry compote.

That’s because the brewers at Mountains Walking packed nearly 2,000 lbs of real strawberry pureé into the brew! That’s a literal ton! A baby elephant-sized portion of strawberry silkiness!

And that’s not all — every lip-smacking gulp is balanced by a smooth and creamy mouthfeel from the addition of oats, lactose, and Tahitian vanilla bean.

In lesser hands, this Sour could be cloying, but the experts at Mountains Walking balance the desserty flavors brilliantly. Every sweet sip is punctuated with slightly puckering berry tartness.

As the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, I’m relishing every last bit of summer flavors I can get. So find a sunny patch, spread out a picnic blanket, and enjoy one last, lush sip of summertime with Strawberry Shortcake.

PorchDrinking calls Mountains Walking “trailblazers when it comes to brewing new and creative beers!”

Salmon-colored haze, fresh Strawberry Shortcake aromas, tangy-sweet wild Strawberries, thick mouth-feel, almost creamy, Milk Sugar sweetness, suble breadiness, and Vanilla notes.

Delicious strawberry flavor, but it’s just a tad too sweet for me and a little syrupy. I was hoping for less of a dessert and more of a fruited sour. I like that it’s a bit heavier as it takes me awhile to finish one.

Delicious candy beer. I would only ever drink one at a time but it's thick, syrupy strawberry beer. You can taste the hint of vanilla and the lactos does make it silky smooth. Perfect after dinner drink!

Wonderful and refreshing strawberry beer, I feel like processed strawberries can get a bit of that fruit leather taste to it, but this beer totally does not suffer from that

Nothing short of pure perfection! Like grandma’s strawberry rhubarb pie personified. Amazing blend of sweet tartness, with a clean pie crust end note.

Fantastic aroma. Amazing flavors. It reminds me of a great take on strawberry shortcake I’ve made before using stewed strawberries, a large scone and Chantilly cream. It has a nice pastry richness. Amazing macerated strawberry flavors. And honestly the best utilization of lactose and vanilla I’ve ever had in a beer. The only negative is that it’s a bit too strong of an ABV. It negatively carries more of the acidity and less of the sweetness as it warms. Still a very stellar beer.

Very very good sour. Perfect blend of strawberry shortcake and sour taste

Mountains Walking and Wild Crumb haven't failed me yet. With the Sweets line in general, expect rich, silky nectar with surprisingly sweet fruit on top with a wonderfully pronounced secondary flavor; be it Graham cracker or granola, cheesecake the shortcake. It's there.

Tastes exactly like a strawberry shortcake, but one with a few unripened sour strawberries. It was thick and creamy without being too heavy. Great flavor and feel.
