Fruit Experiment Review #5 — Strawberry hard candy, late boil

The wildcard of the experiment: Matt from Wrecked Brewery added a pound of strawberry hard candy late in the boil. The aroma smells like the other hot-side beers, but the taste is its own thing entirely — a distinct candy note layered over more prominent fermented-fruit character and a touch of alcohol warmth, likely from all those simple candy sugars fermenting out.

Proof that the weirdest method on the list can still hold its own — the tasting is worth watching to see exactly how the candy note plays against the fermented fruit character.
