Short's Strawberry Short's Cake is alcoholic dessert

Short's Strawberry Short's Cake is back for Summer 2016.

The base beer for this perennial favorite a golden ale, brewed with fresh strawberries and milk sugar. (That's lactose for those science-y folks). The end result is a creamy dessert beer that smells and tastes just as it's billed.

The flavors of shortcake and fresh strawberries transform this beer into rose-colored party nectar that is pleasingly sweet with hints of cream. Biscuit flavors and aromas arise from the use of large amounts of Victory malt.

Summer of 2016 is when we finally got to try this beer for the first time. The strawberries are fresh, the beer is smooth (thanks to the milk sugar), and really reminds us of a a dessert at a hot summer barbecue. So much so, there was a point where you almost want to chew it. Trust us, drinking it is easier.
