Fruit Experiment Review #4 — Purée at cold crash

Club president Rochester Dave added frozen strawberry purée at cold crash — cold-side territory, where the fruit flavors survive intact instead of fermenting out. The pour shows it: strawberry aroma up front, malt underneath, and a noticeably cleaner profile than the hot-side beers, with none of the hefeweizen-style yeast esters.

The Cashmere hops earn their keep again, with balancing bitterness in the aftertaste against genuine strawberry sweetness. This one triggered the series' most reliable quality signal: a glass emptied before filming wrapped.
